Summary

Everest Public High is a small public high school serving 224 students in grades 9-12 in Redwood City, located in an area with some of California's highest-performing schools just a few miles away.

The school serves a community with significant economic need and faces considerable academic challenges, particularly in mathematics where only 8.5% of students are proficient, which is far below the state average. Attendance is also a major concern, with over 40% of students chronically absent. However, the school has a notable strength: its graduation rate is consistently strong, above 90%, meaning it successfully supports students in completing their diplomas despite these academic hurdles. Year-to-year performance has been volatile, suggesting some instability.

It's important to understand Everest in the context of its neighbors. The school operates within the Everest Public High District and, with about $17,000 spent per student, has far fewer financial resources than nearby schools like Palo Alto High or KIPP Esperanza High. When compared to schools with similar high-needs populations, such as Summit Preparatory Charter High or KIPP Esperanza, those schools often achieve higher academic rankings, indicating that while demographics present challenges, outcomes can vary based on resources and approaches.
