Everest Value, Los Angeles CA - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Everest Value

Everest Value is a charter school serving kindergarten through eighth grade in central Los Angeles, located in a neighborhood with substantial economic need. The school sits directly across from Central City Value High School and relocated to a newly built campus in 2022 designed to roughly double its enrollment capacity, reflecting the organization's growth vision.

The school's student body is predominantly Hispanic, with a substantial majority of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The enrollment spans a full K-8band, ranging from the youngest students in kindergarten through eighth graders preparing for transition.

State testing results show significant academic challenges across both English language arts and mathematics. In English language arts, proficiency varies by grade, ranging from lower performance in third and fourth grade to stronger results in seventh grade. In math, proficiency is notably lower across most grades, with particularly weak results in fifth grade. Science proficiency is also low, with single-digit performance in eighth grade. These results position the school well below the midpoint among Los Angeles County's school districts on a composite proficiency measure. A parent should look into the school's strategic response to these outcomes and what academic support structures are in place to help students progress.

The school does offer athletics including basketball, football, and soccer, providing extracurricular options for families. The new facility itself is a point of distinction—modern, purpose-built, and intentionally located near a high school to create a visible anchor in the neighborhood. This physical environment reflects the Value Schools organization's commitment to the community.

The broader Los Angeles context shows a city in active housing and demographic change, with growth-focused policy and significant investment in downtown and neighborhood-level development ahead of the 2028 Olympics. The school's location in central Los Angeles places it in an area with transit access and ongoing community investment, though the neighborhood remains economically stressed. For families choosing this school, the primary appeal centers on the new facility, the K-8 continuity, and the charter model, rather than on current academic performance metrics. The low proficiency results are a substantive concern that warrants direct conversation with the school about literacy and math intervention approaches before enrolling.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
