Summary

Stella Elementary Charter Academy is a Los Angeles school serving 258 students in grades K–4. Its clearest strength is mathematics: in 2025–2026, 61% of students were proficient, compared with 38% statewide, and third-grade math proficiency was 74%, the highest among nine nearby schools with results for that grade. ELA is the main academic concern: 42% were proficient, below the state’s 49%. The most important takeaway is that math—especially in third grade—is a standout, while ELA remains below the state.

Compared with nearby schools, Stella led the group in third-grade math but ranked fifth of nine in third-grade ELA and sixth of nine in fourth-grade ELA; its fourth-grade math ranked fourth of nine. That result was stronger than the state’s 42% but less exceptional than third-grade math. Stella’s overall SchoolDigger standing is at the 65th percentile statewide, below the 72nd-percentile standing of the Stella Elementary Charter Academy District; these are rankings, not subject-score comparisons. No district subject results were provided, so a school-to-district academic comparison is not available.

Results have improved substantially in math: proficiency rose from 33% in 2022–2023 to 61% in 2025–2026, turning a 2-point gap below the state into a 22-point lead. ELA also improved, from 26% to 42%, though it remains below the state. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking rose from the 18th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 65th in 2025–2026, and the school has 3 stars. SchoolDigger’s rankings also indicate particularly strong relative standing in how well Stella serves Hispanic students (87th percentile) and students of low socioeconomic status (82nd percentile), compared with 65th overall. In 2024–2025, 92% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, a measure that provides context rather than an explanation for results. The student–teacher ratio was 21.5 in 2024–2025, second-highest among Stella and the 10 nearby schools.
