Overall my experience at everest was okay. They have the resource you need to graduate, but don't have many extracurriculars. Also since there budget gets cut shorter, it harder to have things since there's less and less money

I like how it is a college prep school. Having a college prep school, makes me feel more ready and prepared for my life ahead in university or college.

Everest is a pretty good school overall, since coming here my freshman year I have built a very personal connection with the teacher and in doing so it has helped me by being able to trust them. The Everest community is very friendly and caring. Everest as prepared and helped me get ready for college pretty well by having mentors that help us and by having college readiness classes mandatory for all students during there junior year

Don’t go here. This school is awful. There are fights almost every day and the principal has no control and does nothing. All of the good teachers leave and so we only have subs who aren’t even real teachers. The bad kids are in charge of the school. I’m gonna go somewhere else next year.
