Former Schools in Puerto Rico
Hurricane Maria and Hurricane Irma did a great amount of damage to the educational system in Puerto Rico. However, much of the damage they did was in excerbating preexisting issues in the system. Since 2006, the total of operational schools on the Island was 1,515 (its peak) and in 2018, sat at just 855.
This problem is not germane to any one area on the Island; "Most school closures disproportionately occurred in the Island's rural areas (65%) relative to urban areas (35%)."
