JOSE DE DIEGO

JOSE DE DIEGO is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the PUERTO RICO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION school district, located in LAS PIEDRAS, PR with about 227 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 19 teachers, JOSE DE DIEGO has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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 **JOSE DE DIEGO School**, located in the Bo. Quebrada Arenas sector of Las Piedras, Puerto Rico (specifically on Highway 183, Ramal 917), serves as a vital educational hub for the local rural community. As a public institution under the Puerto Rico Department of Education, the school is dedicated to providing fundamental primary or secondary instruction to students in the region, focusing on academic development while navigating the unique socio-economic landscape of the Las Piedras municipality.

Like many schools in the area, the facility plays a significant role in fostering community identity and providing a structured environment for the youth of the Quebrada Arenas neighborhood. The school’s curriculum aligns with state standards, emphasizing core subjects and cultural education, and it functions as a central point for student growth, extracurricular engagement, and local educational outreach within the southeastern part of the island.
