SU JOSE GONZALEZ GINORIO

SU JOSE GONZALEZ GINORIO is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the PUERTO RICO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION school district, located in VILLALBA, PR with about 269 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 23 teachers, SU JOSE GONZALEZ GINORIO 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 **Escuela José González Ginorio** is a public educational institution located in the Villalba Abajo ward of Villalba, Puerto Rico (specifically situated along Highway 149). As part of the Puerto Rico Department of Education’s network, the school serves the local community by providing foundational academic instruction to students in the region. Its location in a rural-to-suburban setting reflects the typical structure of municipal schools in the mountainous central region of the island, which often serve as central hubs for families living along the main arterial routes of the municipality.

The school is named in honor of José González Ginorio, a notable figure in Puerto Rican history and literature, known for his contributions to historical research and education. Like many schools in the Villalba district, the institution is committed to the academic and social development of its student body, aiming to prepare them for the secondary education level. While specific programmatic offerings may vary by academic year, the school functions as a critical component of the local infrastructure, supporting the educational needs of the families within the Villalba Abajo community.
