When we were lived on Guam my sisters and I attended local schools, as DOD Education Activity (DoDEA) schools were not established on the island until a few years after we departed. I attended Fingayan Elementary School for grade 6 and then Dededo Junior High for grades 7-9. Dededo Junior High, established in 1966, was renamed Vicente S.A. Benavente Middle School in February 1999. The schools were way behind the American education system and were quite a tough place to spend your day. By way of explaining that here is an excerpt I found on a DOD website:

“The DoD schools on Guam are well regarded. But military families familiar with the island warn that the public schools should be avoided: They say teachers lack resources, vandalism is common and bullying is an accepted childhood behavior - often not discouraged or disciplined. Home schooling is a popular option, and support groups meet regularly.”
