Moving Everest Charter School

Summary:

Moving Everest Charter School is an elementary school serving 770 students in grades K-8 in Chicago, Illinois, which is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299. However, the school faces significant challenges, with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and particularly poor performance for certain student subgroups.

Moving Everest Charter School's chronic absenteeism rates have ranged from 41.7% to 49.5% over the past few years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are significantly lower than the district and state, with only 14.9% of students proficient or better in ELA and just 5.5% proficient or better in math in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's performance is especially low for female students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom 10% of Illinois elementary schools for these subgroups.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as Nash Elementary School, KIPP Academy Chicago Campus, and Catalyst Charter-Circle Rock Elementary School generally perform better than Moving Everest Charter School on key metrics, suggesting the challenges may be unique to the school itself. The school's funding has also fluctuated significantly, ranging from $14,288 to $81,978 per student, which may contribute to its struggles. Addressing the root causes of these issues, through targeted interventions and consistent funding, will be crucial for improving the school's performance and providing a high-quality education for its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
