School Overview

**SU Silverio Garcia** is a public school located in the Daguao ward of Naguabo, Puerto Rico. Situated along Highway 3 (Carr 3), the school serves as a key educational anchor for the local community, operating within the Puerto Rico Department of Education system. As an "SU" (*Segunda Unidad* or Second Unit) school, it historically follows a model that often combines primary education with intermediate levels, focusing on providing comprehensive academic development to students in the rural and suburban sectors of Naguabo.

The school is deeply integrated into the cultural and social fabric of the Daguao area. Given its geographic location near the coast and the mountainous terrain of eastern Puerto Rico, the institution plays a vital role in local development, fostering a sense of community identity among its students, faculty, and families. While it faces the common challenges shared by many public schools in the region, SU Silverio Garcia remains a central resource for neighborhood children, striving to maintain academic continuity and extracurricular engagement within the Naguabo municipality.
