SU SILVERIO GARCIA

SU SILVERIO GARCIA is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the PUERTO RICO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION school district, located in NAGUABO, PR with about 301 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 22 teachers, SU SILVERIO GARCIA has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. 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.

**SU SILVERIO GARCIA** is a public school located in the Daguao ward of Naguabo, Puerto Rico. Situated along Highway 3 (Carr 3), the school serves as a key educational anchor for the local community, operating within the Puerto Rico Department of Education system. As an "SU" (*Segunda Unidad* or Second Unit) school, it historically follows a model that often combines primary education with intermediate levels, focusing on providing comprehensive academic development to students in the rural and suburban sectors of Naguabo.

The school is deeply integrated into the cultural and social fabric of the Daguao area. Given its geographic location near the coast and the mountainous terrain of eastern Puerto Rico, the institution plays a vital role in local development, fostering a sense of community identity among its students, faculty, and families. While it faces the common challenges shared by many public schools in the region, SU SILVERIO GARCIA remains a central resource for neighborhood children, striving to maintain academic continuity and extracurricular engagement within the Naguabo municipality.
