SU RAFAEL HERNANDEZ

SU RAFAEL HERNANDEZ is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the PUERTO RICO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION school district, located in GUAYNABO, PR with about 135 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 13 teachers, SU RAFAEL HERNANDEZ has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. 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 **SU Rafael Hernández**, located on Carr 833 in the Guaynabo municipality of Puerto Rico, is a public school that serves the local community of Barrio Guaraguao. As a "Segunda Unidad" (SU) school, it historically follows the Puerto Rican educational model that integrates primary education (elementary) with intermediate (middle school) levels, often serving as a central hub for student development within its rural or semi-rural setting.

The school functions under the jurisdiction of the Puerto Rico Department of Education and plays a vital role in providing academic instruction to the children of the Guaraguao sector. Situated in the mountainous terrain of Guaynabo, the facility serves as both an educational institution and a significant community landmark, committed to fostering student achievement and cultural growth within its district despite the geographic challenges of the region.
