FEDERICO DEGETAU II

FEDERICO DEGETAU II is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the PUERTO RICO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION school district, located in AIBONITO, PR with about 329 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 6th 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 31 teachers, FEDERICO DEGETAU II has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. 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.

FEDERICO DEGETAU II is a public school located in the heart of Aibonito, Puerto Rico, situated at the corner of Calle San José and Ignacio López. As a staple within the local community, the school serves as a primary educational institution for students in the mountainous region of the island. It is named in honor of Federico Degetau y González, a prominent Puerto Rican lawyer, politician, and author who served as the island’s first Resident Commissioner to the U.S. House of Representatives.

The school functions within the Puerto Rico Department of Education system, adhering to the curriculum standards set for the island’s youth. Given its location in Aibonito—a town often referred to as "The Flower City" due to its cool climate and agricultural history—the school is deeply integrated into the local culture. It plays a vital role in providing academic instruction and social development to the area's children, striving to prepare them for secondary education while maintaining the values and community-focused atmosphere typical of schools in the central region of Puerto Rico.
