ANTONIO VALERO BERNABE

ANTONIO VALERO BERNABE is a Title I public middle school that is part of the PUERTO RICO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION school district, located in FAJARDO, PR with about 368 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade 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 26 teachers, ANTONIO VALERO BERNABE has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. 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 located at **Avenida General Valero in Fajardo, Puerto Rico**, is the **Escuela Antonio Valero Bernabé**. Named after the prominent 19th-century Puerto Rican military general and independence activist Antonio Valero de Bernabé, the institution serves as a local pillar for academic instruction within the Fajardo municipality. As a public educational facility, it is integrated into the Puerto Rico Department of Education’s system, providing essential schooling to the surrounding community.

The school is situated in a central, accessible part of Fajardo, reflecting the architectural and urban layout typical of Puerto Rico’s historic coastal towns. While it functions primarily as a center for core curriculum subjects and student development, its location on Avenida General Valero places it within a significant area of the city, honoring a figure deeply tied to the island's military and political history. Like many schools in the region, it plays a vital role in fostering social cohesion and educational growth for the youth of Fajardo.
