BARAHONA ELEMENTAL

BARAHONA ELEMENTAL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the PUERTO RICO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION school district, located in MOROVIS, PR with about 232 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 24 teachers, BARAHONA ELEMENTAL has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Escuela Elemental Barahona is a public primary school located in the rural sector of Barrio Barahona in Morovis, Puerto Rico. Situated along Highway 33, the school serves the local community by providing foundational education to elementary-aged children. As is characteristic of many schools in the central mountainous region of the island, it functions as a vital social and educational hub for families living in the surrounding area.

The school is part of the Puerto Rico Department of Education’s district system and focuses on delivering a core academic curriculum tailored to elementary students. Beyond its academic responsibilities, the institution plays a significant role in the community of Morovis, offering a structured learning environment for students in the early stages of their educational development. While facilities in this region are often smaller in scale, they are essential for maintaining educational accessibility for students who reside outside of the urban center.
