The school located at Carr 132 KM 6, Sector Juncos in the TALLABOA PONIENTE ward of Peñuelas, Puerto Rico, is formally known as **Escuela Josefa Vélez Bauzá**.
As a public elementary school serving the Tallaboa community, the institution plays a vital role in the academic and social development of local children. Situated in a semi-rural setting along the PR-132 highway, the school serves as a central hub for the families residing in the Juncos sector and the surrounding Tallaboa area. Like many schools in the Peñuelas municipality, it operates under the jurisdiction of the Puerto Rico Department of Education, focusing on providing foundational K-5 or K-6 education that emphasizes core subjects such as Spanish, mathematics, science, and English.
Beyond its academic mission, the school serves as a reflection of the close-knit identity of the Tallaboa community. Because of its geographic location near the coast and the mountainous interior of Peñuelas, the school often integrates local cultural values into its daily operations. It functions not only as a learning center but also as a key piece of public infrastructure that supports the development of the youth in this specific region of southern Puerto Rico.
