School Overview

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.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
