Summary

Olive Middle is a public middle school serving about 477 students in grades 6-8 within the Baldwin Park Unified School District, which ranks in the lower half of districts statewide.

Academically, the school's test scores in English, Math, and Science are below California averages, though it shows notable strengths in serving specific groups of students, with particularly strong historical results for English Learners and a recent, significant jump in performance for students in Special Education. The school spends more per student ($28,437) than many nearby schools, but this higher investment does not currently translate to proportionally higher academic results. Chronic student absenteeism, at 20.6%, remains an area for improvement, though the rate is better than at some neighboring schools like Gladstone Middle.

When compared to other local schools, Olive Middle occupies a middle position within its own district; it outperforms Charles D. Jones Middle but trails behind Sierra Vista Middle and the specialized BP STEM Academy, which has much higher science proficiency. This suggests that targeted programs can impact outcomes, even among schools with similar student populations and resources.
