FOURTH STREET PRIMARY CENTER

Fourth Street Primary Center is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Los Angeles Unified school district, located in Los Angeles, CA with about 272 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 1st Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 13 teachers, Fourth Street Primary Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Fourth Street Primary Center, located at 469 Amalia Avenue in Los Angeles, is a specialized educational facility within the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD). As a "Primary Center," the school is uniquely designed to serve younger students—typically spanning grades Pre-Kindergarten through 2nd grade—providing a focused, age-appropriate environment intended to build a strong academic foundation before students transition to a larger elementary school.

Situated in the East Los Angeles community, the school emphasizes early childhood development through a curriculum tailored to the needs of young learners. Because it is a smaller campus specifically dedicated to early education, it often fosters a more intimate, community-oriented atmosphere compared to traditional K-5 or K-6 elementary schools. The facility serves as a critical local resource for families in the area, prioritizing early literacy, foundational math skills, and social-emotional growth during these essential formative years.
