JOSE M. TORRES

JOSE M. TORRES is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the PUERTO RICO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION school district, located in BAYAMON, PR with about 188 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 16 teachers, JOSE M. TORRES 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 school you are inquiring about is **Escuela JOSE M. TORRES**, located in the Dajaos ward of Bayamón, Puerto Rico. Situated along the PR-167 Ramal 812, the school serves the local community in a semi-rural setting within the Bayamón municipality. As a public institution under the Puerto Rico Department of Education, it functions as a foundational pillar for neighborhood families, providing essential academic instruction and social development to students in the area.

Because it is located in the Dajaos sector, the school plays a vital role in the identity of that specific community. Schools in this region of Bayamón generally focus on standard K-6 or K-8 curricula (depending on the current district reorganization), aiming to foster literacy, numeracy, and civic responsibility among local youth. For precise information regarding the school's current grade levels, academic performance, or enrollment procedures, it is recommended to contact the Puerto Rico Department of Education’s Bayamón regional office directly, as administrative statuses and specific grade-level offerings can change periodically.
