School Overview

Escuela Federico Degetau is a public educational institution located in the Boquerón barrio of Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. Situated along the scenic route of Carr 103, the school serves the local community in a region known for its coastal geography and proximity to the popular tourist areas of southwest Puerto Rico. As part of the Puerto Rico Department of Education system, the school plays a vital role in providing foundational academic instruction to students living in the Boquerón area, helping to foster local development and community cohesion.

The school is named after Federico Degetau, a prominent Puerto Rican lawyer, writer, and politician who served as the first Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico in the U.S. House of Representatives.
