my momm told me that there are only 10th grade- 12th in puerto rico schools. is that true?

Question

im transfering to puerto rico

sorry guys i meant puerto rico high schools

Answer 1

Most high schools are 10th - 12th grade. 7th - 9th is called a Escuela Intermedio or roughly translated a Middle/Junior School. Elementary schools usually go K - 6th.

When my parents moved back to the island when I was 14, I entered high school or 10th grade.

It's really no difference. One thing I did learn was that you'll probably excel in English, because it really entails alot of reading, and not much grammar. By the same token Spanish was difficult for me, because even though, mami y papi, spoke to us all the time, and I could read it a little at the time, I really didn't practice much.

Keep your chin up, ask for help, make friends, and enjoy what your patria(homeland) has to offer. Trust me, if you go there with an open mind, you'll fall in love with "La Isla del Encanto".

Take care BORIQUA!!!

Answer 2

no that isn't true education in Puerto Rico is divided into four levels. These are elementary, intermediate, high school, and the college level. Students can attend either a public or a private school. According to the 2000 Census, 60.0% of the population attained a high school degree or higher level of education, and 18.3% has a bachelor's degree or higher. This ranks as worst and 6th worst, respectively, among US states, where the national averages are 80.4% and 24.4%.[19] As of 2002, the literacy rate of the population was 94.1%. By gender, the literacy rate is 93.9% for males and 94.4% for females.[1]

Public schools are run by the Departamento de Educación Pública de Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico Department of Education) while private schools are run by private institutions, predominantly the Roman Catholic Church. The two public universities in Puerto Rico are the multi-campus University of Puerto Rico and the Colegio Universitario de San Juan operated by the city of San Juan. The largest private university systems on the island are the Ana G. Mendez University System (which operates the Turabo University, the Metropolitan University, and the Eastern University), the multi-campus Interamerican University, the Pontifical Catholic University, and the University of the Sacred Heart. Centro de Estudios Avanzados de Puerto Rico y el Caribe located in historic Old San Juan is a graduate level institution specializing in the study of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.

There are more than 600,000 students attending over 1,500 schools every year. With 45 thousand teachers the Department of Education is the largest employer in the island. The Teachers' Federation of Puerto Rico is the largest union which organizes all the permanent teachers within the public sector.
