ANTONIO PAOLI

ANTONIO PAOLI is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the PUERTO RICO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION school district, located in VEGA ALTA, PR with about 294 students offering grade levels from Pre-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 24 teachers, ANTONIO PAOLI has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. 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.

**ANTONIO PAOLI School**, located in the Urbanización Santa Rita in Vega Alta, Puerto Rico, serves as a local educational institution dedicated to fostering academic and personal growth within the community. Named in honor of the legendary Puerto Rican tenor ANTONIO PAOLI—often referred to as "The King of Tenors"—the school carries a legacy of cultural pride and excellence that it seeks to instill in its student body. The facility provides a structured environment for students to engage in their primary or secondary studies, emphasizing core curriculum subjects while promoting the values necessary for their future development.

Situated in a residential setting, the school functions as a central pillar of the Santa Rita neighborhood, encouraging strong ties between students, educators, and local families. By maintaining a focus on both educational standards and the broader development of its pupils, ANTONIO PAOLI School strives to prepare its graduates to become responsible, capable citizens who can contribute positively to Puerto Rican society.
