William Tell Aggeler High is an opportunity school. According to the Los Angeles Unified School District, opportunity schools are "small campuses serving students (grades 7-12) who are habitually truant, have irregular attendance and exhibit other at-risk behaviors. These schools offer specialized instruction, guidance and counseling, psychological services and tutorial assistance to help students overcome barriers to learning." The school is adjacent to the Rancho San Antonio Boys Home.
Chatsworth High School is so typical of suburban high schools that it was selected by HBO as the site for its fourteen-part Freshman Year documentary, filmed during the 1999-2000 school year. Principal Timothy Guy says, the 3,200-student school has "completed its conversion to contiguous learning zones, our final step in the smaller learning community's process." These learning zones or academies include the Humanitas Academy of Education and Human Services, the Medical Careers Academy, the Arts and Media Academy, the Engineering and Design Academy, the International Business and Government Careers Academy and two Freshman Academies, The Titans and The Olympians. In 2003 and 2004, Chatsworth baseball became the only team to ever win back-to-back national championships, and Chatsworth's drama program has turned out such actors as Kirk Cameron, Val Kilmer, Kevin Spacey and Mare Winningham, among others.
