Alexandria Avenue School is located in the mid-city area between Hollywood on the
west and Downtown Los Angeles on the east. The community population is comprised of a rich variety
of ethnicities, languages and cultures. Coming from twenty-five countries, our student body is 94%
Hispanic, 3% Filipino, 2% Asian, .5% Caucasian and .5% Black. Approximately 83% of the students
have Spanish as a home language. We also have students who speak Filipino, Armenian and Korean
with a total of fifteen different home languages represented in the school. Less than six percent
of our students come to school with English as their primary language.
Alexandria enrolls over 1,300 students in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. Alexandria follows
the Los Angeles Unified School District's four track year-round schedule. Students are assigned to
one of four groups or "tracks." The four tracks then follows the general pattern of eighteen (18)
weeks of attendance and six (6) weeks of vacation. Three quarters of the student population are
"on-track" during the year. Alexandria is officially closed for winter break and most major holidays,
but does not have a spring break. The school year begins on July 1st and ends on June 30th. Parents,
students and teachers support this calendar and feel that it provides maximum learning potential for
our students.
The school continually evaluates and revises instructional methodologies to best meet the needs of
our students. Literacy, thinking skills and application of knowledge are emphasized. These goals
have led to many innovative programs, which are supported both by a wide variety of instructional
materials and by a commitment to continuous professional development for the teaching staff.
We have been designated a Model Technology Site in the District in recognition of our extensive
commitment to the use of computer technology in an integrated curriculum.
