Alexandra Hills State Primary School was established to cater to the new residential area developed in the Redlands. As the first school in Alexandra Hills, it quickly grew to capacity. To address the growing population, nearby schools such as Vienna Woods, Birkdale South, and Hilliard were subsequently opened. The school serves as a direct feeder into Alexandra Hills State High School and receives students from several local kindergartens. It caters to students from Prep to Year 6, offering an inclusive, co-teaching education model. Enrolment numbers typically hover around 200 students.
Located in a satellite suburb within the Redlands City Council, Alexandra Hills has an unemployment rate of 30%, lower than the surrounding council area. The suburb boasts the highest level of education within the Redlands. Socio-economic fluctuations in recent years have influenced the school's ICSEA levels. Despite these changes, the school has become a highly desirable educational choice, attracting a significant number of students from surrounding suburbs.
The school benefits from sharing its grounds with the Metropolitan South Professional Services Hub, which includes physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and specialist teachers as part of its staff.
