Summary

Everest Elementary School is a K–4 school in Blacklick, Ohio, serving 682 students as part of the Licking Heights Local district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 593rd of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 62nd percentile with 3 stars — above its district's overall 55th percentile and the highest of the three Licking Heights elementaries shown. The school's trajectory is clearly upward: 43rd percentile in 2023–2024, 57th in 2024–2025, and 62nd in 2025–2026, its best result in the available history going back to 2016–2017, and a 25-point gain since 37th percentile in 2020–2021.

In 2025–2026, Everest scored above the state average in every tested grade and subject: 63.8% proficient in 3rd grade math, 77.0% in 4th grade math, 72.7% in 3rd grade ELA, and 71.9% in 4th grade ELA. Fourth grade is a particular strength, well ahead of same-district Broad Peak Elementary (58.5% math, 56.2% ELA) and Lima Ridge Elementary (66.9% math, 68.9% ELA). The relative weak spot is 3rd grade math, where Everest trails both of those schools and the district average. Chronic absenteeism is a standout strength: 6.9% in 2025–2026, less than half the district's 14.4% and lower than nearly every nearby school except Lima Ridge (5.7%) and Blacklick Elementary (5.8%).

Subgroup results are uneven. Effectiveness for African American students ranks in the 94th percentile with 5 stars, and English Language Learner and low-income students both rank in the 77th–78th percentile with 4 stars. Special education is the clear gap: the 11th percentile with 1 star in 2025–2026, following 8th and 10th percentile results the two prior years. Everest serves a relatively high-poverty population — 54.4% free/reduced lunch — with a 20.0 student-teacher ratio, higher than Broad Peak and Lima Ridge. It outranks every nearby Reynoldsburg City school shown, but trails Gahanna-Jefferson City's High Point Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, and Blacklick Elementary, all of which serve lower-poverty populations.
