Who runs it?
- Run by PUERTO RICO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, its local education agency in NCES’s directory.
- District spending, fiscal year 2024: the Census Bureau’s survey of school system finances gives no spending per student for the agency that runs it.

Has anything been proven against it?
- Federal school data don’t record findings against a school: the counts here are what the school reported, and the Office for Civil Rights’ own investigations aren’t included.
What the record doesn’t say
- Federal school data arrive one to three years after the school year they describe, so each figure here carries its own year.
- The Civil Rights Data Collection is gathered every two years and published about two years later: its 2023-24 figures came out in August 2026.
- To protect students’ privacy, the Office for Civil Rights adds or takes away one at random from counts of students, and ED does the same for chronic absence counts of four or fewer, so a small count may be one off.
- Where the public file shows code −10, “Suppressed in compliance with Executive Order” 14168, figures are withheld: students reported as nonbinary, and harassment allegations based on gender identity, are left out of the counts here.
- The 2021-22 collection didn’t include teacher experience, so there’s no earlier figure to compare it with.
- ED publishes each school’s test results in reading and language arts and in mathematics, but they aren’t loaded here yet.
