School Overview

The **Dr. Silverio Medina Gaud** school is a public educational institution located in the Naranjales ward of Las Marías, Puerto Rico. Situated along Highway 199, the school serves the rural mountain community of the region, functioning as a vital hub for the local student population. Like many schools in the Las Marías municipality, it focuses on providing fundamental K-12 education while navigating the unique geographical challenges of the island's central-western mountainous terrain.

As part of the Puerto Rico Department of Education system, the school plays an essential role in the social and academic development of children in the Consumo/Naranjales area. While it serves a smaller, close-knit community, the school is deeply integrated into the local culture of Las Marías, an area historically known for its agricultural roots—particularly coffee and citrus production. It remains a key point of reference for families in the sector seeking accessible education within their immediate neighborhood.
