Historical Data
Harding
Elementary
School
was
built
in the
early
1900s
on
four
acres
of
land
that
James
G
.
Bell
donated
,
accommodating
20
students
of
all
grades
. In
1911
, a
2-story
brick
building
was
constructed
and
enrollment
for
Harding
Elementary
grew
to
102
students
. In
1913
, the
name
was
changed
to
Bell
Grammar
School
, and in
1923
,
it
was
changed
again
to
Bell
Grammar
#1
because
there were
three
other
schools
in the
Bell
area
by that
time
. The
school
entered
the
L.A
.
Unified
School
District
in
1926
, and
it
underwent
a
name
change
once
again
,
becoming
Corona
Avenue
Elementary
. By
1934
,
student
enrollment
was at
651
, with
21
teachers
on
staff
. This
same
year
,
famed
architect
Richard
Neutra
helped
transform
Corona
into an "
experimental
"
school
. His
design
consisted
of
huge
sliding
glass
patio
walls
,
which
opened
the
entire
side
of the
room
directly
to the
outside
;
because
of
Mr
.
Neutra's
works
, the
school
has
since
become
an
historical
landmark
.
Corona
Avenue
Elementary
School
is
located
at
3825
Bell
Avenue
, the
school
currently
serves
1,277
students
,
grades
K-5
.

is
looking
inside
the
classroom
at
Corona
Avenue
School
,

at

, in the

. A

stands
at the
front
of the
class
, as

industrial-looking
