Queen of Angels Academy (Compton, California)

Queen of Angels Academy was a private Catholic high school for girls in Compton, California.

History

It was established in 1995 through the merger of two all-girl schools, St. Michael's [High School (Los Angeles)|St. Michael's High School] in Los Angeles, and Regina Caeli High School.
The academy occupied the campus of the former Regina Caeli High School, a school with a 99% minority student body, administered by the Sisters of the [Holy Family (Louisiana)|Sisters of the Holy Family], a congregation of African-American religious sisters.
In December 2001 the Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles|Archdiocese of Los Angeles] announced that the academy would close at the end of the current school year, citing declining enrollment and the high level of subsidy by the archdiocese as major factors.
The following year, the building was converted for use as St. Albert the Great Middle School, part of the parochial school located across the street.
