Once more, the school was moved to a former elementary school in East Kalayaan, which now serves as the current location of Regional Science High School III.

The building was initially constructed in the late 1950s by the [[United States Navy]] for the education of their dependent children and was originally named George Dewey Elementary School. It was later renamed Kalayaan Elementary School and operated under the administration of the Philippine Department of Defense.

Regional Science High School III has a very conducive and probably the most beautiful environment of all schools in [[Olongapo City]]. It is located in the one of the few remaining natural rainforests in the Philippines in Subic Bay Freeport Zone.The school buildings are abundantly surrrouded by grass, rocks, shrubs and trees, over the school fence is an off-limits forest.
The Regional Science High School is situated within one of the Philippines' remaining natural rainforests in the Subic Bay Freeport Zone. The school buildings are enveloped by lush grass, rocks, shrubs, and trees, with an untouched forest reserve beyond the school fence.

The existing school buildings were originally constructed for the education of U.S. naval officers' children during the American colonial occupation and have remained largely unchanged since then. Only a few structures on the campus were modified to accommodate the relocation of the high school.
