Stella Middle Charter Academy opened its doors in June 2003, and currently serves 330 5th-8th grade students at two campuses. Stella Academy’s main facility is an eight-room school building on the campus of St. Agatha’s Catholic Church, 2636 Mansfield Avenue (one block west of the corner of La Brea Ave. & Adams Blvd.), in mid-city Los Angeles. Stella Academy has quickly become one of the premier public middle schools in Los Angeles that serves a low-income, minority population.
In September 2006, Bright Star Secondary Charter Academy opened to serve grades 9-12. BSSCA operates in temporary classroom space provided by LAUSD on the campus of Orville Wright Middle School in Westchester. A search is underway to find a permanent facility for BSSCA. BSSCA will serve 120 9th & 10th grade students during the 2007-08 school year.
