Carson) into two single-gender academies: The Coretta Scott King Young Women's Leadership Academy and The BEST (Business, Engineering, Science and Technology) Academy for Boys The two academies opened for the 2007-2008 school year, beginning with 6th grade and adding one grade each year until both schools serve students in 6th through 12th grades.
