SALVADOR BRAU ELEMENTAL

SALVADOR BRAU ELEMENTAL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the PUERTO RICO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION school district, located in CAYEY, PR with about 279 students offering grade levels from 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 20 teachers, SALVADOR BRAU ELEMENTAL has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. 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 **SALVADOR BRAU ELEMENTAL** school is a public primary educational institution located in the Jardines neighborhood of Cayey, Puerto Rico. Situated at the end of Calle 13, the school serves the local community by providing foundational education to elementary-aged students. As is common with public schools in the Cayey region, it operates under the jurisdiction of the Puerto Rico Department of Education, focusing on core academic curricula designed to prepare children for their transition into intermediate and secondary schooling.

The school is named in honor of Salvador Brau, a prominent 19th-century Puerto Rican historian, writer, and journalist, reflecting the institution's connection to the island’s cultural and intellectual heritage. While its location in the Jardines area places it within a residential hub, the school serves as a central point for neighborhood youth, playing a vital role in the social and educational landscape of this mountainous municipality.
