ALEXANDER LEARNING CENTER

Alexander Learning Center is a Title I public school that is part of the Caddo Parish school district, located in Shreveport, LA with about 74 students offering grade levels from 2nd Grade to 12th 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 20 teachers, Alexander Learning Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 3:1. 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.

The Alexander Learning Center, located at 3860 Hutchinson in Shreveport, Louisiana, is a specialized educational facility operated by the Caddo Parish Public School System. It is primarily designed to serve students who require an alternative educational environment, often focusing on those who have faced behavioral challenges or who have been removed from traditional classroom settings. The school aims to provide a structured, supportive atmosphere that emphasizes academic progress alongside behavioral intervention and social-emotional development.

The center functions as a transition-focused institution, with the ultimate goal of preparing students to return to their home schools equipped with the skills necessary for long-term success. By maintaining smaller class sizes and utilizing a team of educators and staff trained in specialized student support, the Alexander Learning Center strives to address the unique individual needs of its student population. Through this focused approach, the school serves as a critical resource for the district in ensuring that all students, regardless of their circumstances, have access to a continuous and meaningful educational experience.
