JOSE F. DIAZ

JOSE F. DIAZ 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 229 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 22 teachers, JOSE F. DIAZ 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.

Based on its location and identification, here is a summary description of the school:

**JOSE F. DIAZ School** is a public educational institution located in the Carraízo Alto sector of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Situated along Carr. 843, the school serves the local community in the rural-suburban transition area of the city. As part of the Puerto Rico Department of Education’s system, it plays a vital role in providing primary or secondary instruction to the families residing in the mountainous region of the San Juan municipality, often serving as a key social and educational hub for the surrounding neighborhood.

Because the school is located in the Carraízo area—which is geographically distinct from the densely populated urban core of San Juan—it often faces the unique challenges and opportunities associated with community-based schools in Puerto Rico’s interior. These schools are typically focal points for local extracurricular activities and community engagement, working to maintain educational standards while navigating the logistical requirements of providing public education to students in the island's more elevated, peripheral sectors.
