INOCENCIO CINTRON ZAYAS

INOCENCIO CINTRON ZAYAS is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the PUERTO RICO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION school district, located in BARRANQUITAS, PR with about 127 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 4th 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 9 teachers, INOCENCIO CINTRON ZAYAS has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. 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.

The **Inocencio Cintrón Zayas** school is a public educational institution located in the mountainous municipality of Barranquitas, Puerto Rico. Situated along PR-771 in the Mana Abajo sector of the Barranca ward, the school serves a rural community, acting as a vital center for academic instruction and social development for the youth in that area of the island.

As with many schools located in the "Ruta Panorámica" region of Puerto Rico, the institution is deeply embedded in the geography of the Cordillera Central. It functions within the framework of the Puerto Rico Department of Education, providing fundamental schooling to local families who reside in the dispersed residential areas surrounding Barranquitas. Its location in the Mana Abajo sector underscores its role in providing accessible education to students who might otherwise face long commutes to the urban center of the municipality.
