Summary

William Tell Aggeler Opportunity High is a very small, alternative public high school in Chatsworth, California, serving grades 7-12 with only about 61 students as part of the Los Angeles Unified school district.

This school serves a specific and critical role as an "opportunity" school for students who have faced significant challenges in traditional settings, which is reflected in its performance data. It consistently ranks among the lowest in the state, with 0% of students testing proficient in core subjects, a chronic absenteeism rate over 75%, and highly variable graduation rates. Despite receiving very high funding per student and having a low student-to-teacher ratio, these substantial resources have not translated into improved academic outcomes over the past decade, highlighting the profound difficulties its students face.

The school's situation becomes especially clear when compared to others nearby. For instance, Chatsworth Charter High, less than a mile away, has graduation rates above 90% and far lower absenteeism. While other alternative schools like John R. Wooden High or Owensmouth Continuation also face significant challenges, William Tell Aggeler's performance metrics are at the absolute bottom, underscoring its role as a last-resort safety net within the local educational system.
