RAFAEL HERNANDEZ

RAFAEL HERNANDEZ is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the PUERTO RICO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION school district, located in HORMIGUEROS, PR with about 166 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 12 teachers, RAFAEL HERNANDEZ 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 Rafael Hernández school is located in the Lavadero sector of Hormigueros, Puerto Rico, situated along Carr. 345. As a public institution within the Puerto Rico Department of Education system, the school serves the local community by providing foundational K-12 educational services. Its location in a semi-rural area of the municipality reflects its role as a neighborhood hub for families residing in the surrounding Hormigueros region.

Like many schools in the western region of Puerto Rico, Rafael Hernández focuses on the academic and social development of its students in alignment with island-wide educational standards. The school serves as a primary educational resource for the community, working to support student growth through the traditional public school curriculum while adapting to the unique cultural and logistical needs of the students in the Lavadero district.
