Summary:
The Stella High Charter Academy District in Los Angeles, California, consists of a single high school, Stella High Charter Academy, serving 555 students in grades 9 through 12.
Stella High Charter Academy stands out for its exceptional graduation rate of 92.7%, which is well above the state average, and its strong performance in English Language Arts, where over 60% of students are proficient. This is a significant achievement given that the vast majority of its students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The school invests heavily in its students, with per-pupil spending above typical state levels, which appears to support these positive outcomes in graduation and literacy.
However, the school faces notable challenges in mathematics and science, where proficiency rates lag behind state averages, and it has a chronic absenteeism rate higher than the state norm. These areas represent key opportunities for improvement. For parents, this school demonstrates a strong commitment to student support and college preparation, particularly in literacy, but families should be aware of the ongoing efforts needed to boost achievement in STEM subjects and improve daily attendance.
