Former Schools in Puerto Rico

To tie in current events, the Hurricane decimated the island, but the following earthquakes, withholding of Government Grants (5) and COVID-19 pandemic have stalled relief and repair efforts across the whole island (not just in the educational sector). That being said, the children of Puerto Rico need consistency and structure in their educational careers; as spoken about prior; "Puerto Rico’s students cannot afford to miss any more school. When math results from the 2017 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)—the United States’ report card on the progress of its public schools—were released, Puerto Rico was the poorest performer in a group that also included all 50 states and Washington, D.C.* The island received an average score of 190 for fourth-grade students, a full 49 points below Louisiana, the U.S. state ranked last, which scored a 239."
