SANTA TERESITA

SANTA TERESITA is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the PUERTO RICO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION school district, located in PONCE, PR with about 264 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 23 teachers, SANTA TERESITA 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.

SANTA TERESITA is a Catholic educational institution located in the SANTA TERESITA urbanización of Ponce, Puerto Rico. As a long-standing fixture within the local community, the school is rooted in traditional values and typically serves students across various developmental levels, offering an academic curriculum integrated with religious formation. Its location in Ponce provides it with a distinct identity as part of the "Ciudad Señorial," drawing students from the surrounding metropolitan area who seek an education that balances academic rigor with moral and spiritual development.

While specific current enrollment figures or academic rankings can fluctuate, the school is generally characterized by its commitment to the Catholic identity and its role in fostering a close-knit school community. Like many private institutions in Puerto Rico, SANTA TERESITA emphasizes holistic development, often participating in regional athletic, cultural, and religious events.
