CARMEN GOMEZ TEJERA

CARMEN GOMEZ TEJERA is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the PUERTO RICO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION school district, located in SAN JUAN, PR with about 219 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 30 teachers, CARMEN GOMEZ TEJERA has a student/teacher ratio of about 7:1. 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 **Carmen Gómez Tejera** school is a public educational institution located in the Montecarlo urbanización of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Situated at the end of Calle 15, the school serves the local community by providing primary or secondary instruction (depending on current Department of Education restructuring) within a residential setting. It is named in honor of Carmen Gómez Tejera, a notable Puerto Rican educator and author who made significant contributions to the field of pedagogy and literature on the island.

As a part of the Puerto Rico Department of Education system, the school functions as a community hub that reflects the academic and social needs of the San Juan metropolitan area. Like many schools in the region, it focuses on delivering the standard curriculum while navigating the unique challenges and cultural landscape of the island’s public school system. Parents and visitors typically interact with the school through its accessible location in the Montecarlo neighborhood, which is characterized by its established suburban infrastructure.
