The school is part of the Henry County Public Schools district, which is ranked 93 out of 129 districts in Virginia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mount Olivet Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia elementary schools, with a ranking between 565 and 950 out of 1,110 schools over the past few years. The school's performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in Mathematics and English Reading. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics at Mount Olivet Elementary was 55.81%, compared to 69.58% for the Henry County Public Schools district and 72.89% for the state of Virginia. Additionally, Mount Olivet Elementary has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 15.7% to 25.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the typical chronic absenteeism rate for elementary schools in Virginia.

When comparing Mount Olivet Elementary to other nearby schools within the Henry County Public Schools district, it generally performs worse on academic measures such as SOL test scores and school rankings. For instance, Axton Elementary and Rich Acres Elementary consistently outperform Mount Olivet Elementary on Mathematics and English Reading proficiency. Additionally, the school's per-student spending, while increasing over time, may still be insufficient to address the unique needs of its student population, which has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
