Directions to Our School: Pio Pico Middle School is located on S. Arlington Avenue in Mid-City, between Pico Bl. and Venice Bl.  From the Santa Monica Freeway (10), use the Arlington Exit and proceed north about 1/2 mile.  Parking during the school day is difficult.  Watch for parking restrictions on Arlington and on neighboring side streets. 

From freeways to the north, such as the Hollywood Freeway (101), take the Vermont Avenue Exit and proceed south to Pico Bl. and then head west. Keep in mind that driving to downtown LA first, and then taking the 10 freeway west may still be faster, depending on time of day and traffic.
