Around 50–70% of graduates study in a university outside of the island, mainly in the continental United States. San José has 25 organized clubs, a varsity program in eleven sports (volleyball, basketball, baseball, tennis, golf, soccer, indoor soccer, cross-country, track and field, swimming, bowling), a junior varsity program with six sports (basketball, tennis, Cross Country, Soccer, Swimming, Track and Field and volleyball) and a juvenile program with three sports (basketball, cross country and volleyball). San José has a student newsletter called La Lanza, an award-winning student publication, and a Student Council. Qualified students are selected as National Honor Society and National Junior Honor Society members. Recent victories achieved by the school during the school year 2008–2009 include winning 7 out of 8 categories during the Intercollegiate League of History and Geography's annual competition.

Colegio San José has had more than 100 National Merit Scholars and several nominations for Presidential Award, during the past five years.
