SU FEDERICO DEGETAU

SU FEDERICO DEGETAU is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the PUERTO RICO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION school district, located in CABO ROJO, PR with about 255 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th 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, SU FEDERICO DEGETAU 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.

Escuela Federico Degetau is a public educational institution located in the Boquerón barrio of Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. Situated along the scenic route of Carr 103, the school serves the local community in a region known for its coastal geography and proximity to the popular tourist areas of southwest Puerto Rico. As part of the Puerto Rico Department of Education system, the school plays a vital role in providing foundational academic instruction to students living in the Boquerón area, helping to foster local development and community cohesion.

The school is named after Federico Degetau, a prominent Puerto Rican lawyer, writer, and politician who served as the first Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico in the U.S. House of Representatives. By bearing his name, the institution reflects a commitment to the historical and cultural heritage of the island. While primarily focused on academic curricula, the school serves as a central hub for families in this rural-coastal setting, balancing the challenges and opportunities inherent in educating youth within a close-knit, geographically unique community.
