Summary

Mount Olive Elementary School is a mid-sized public school in Mount Olive, AL, serving 286 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Jefferson County school district.

Mount Olive stands out as a high-performing school within its district, consistently earning 3 or 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger over the past decade. For the 2025-2026 school year, it ranked in the top quarter of all elementary schools in Alabama (76th percentile), with English Language Arts proficiency rates between 70% and 78% and math proficiency rates ranging from 44.9% to 76.7% across grades 3-5. These scores are dramatically higher than nearby schools like Adamsville Elementary School, UW Clemon Elementary School, Fultondale Elementary School, and Brookville Elementary School, where math proficiency often sits in the single digits to low 30s. Mount Olive's performance is more comparable to top-tier schools like Bryan Elementary School and Warrior Elementary School. The school also has a notably low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.2%, well below the district average of 16.9% and the state average of 12.0%.

One of the most interesting recent developments is the dramatic improvement in performance among male students, who jumped from the 61st to the 83rd percentile statewide in a single year. This suggests targeted interventions are working well for this group. When compared to its closest competitors, Snow Rogers Elementary School (3.59 miles away) and Gardendale Elementary School (4.06 miles away), Mount Olive's 4th-grade math scores (76.7%) are substantially higher than both (40% and 42.1%, respectively), positioning it as a premier choice for elementary education in the immediate area. While the school's overall ranking has dipped slightly from its 2016-2017 peak (89th percentile), it remains a strong, stable academic environment and a clear standout within its district.

What people are saying

Pros - small community school, older buildings, but maintained well with bright cheery decor, clean. I fully recommend this school and community. My son has attended since Kindergarten. School has consistently ranked at or slightly above 85% on SAT,. Low student/teacher ratio. My son has never had a class with more than 23 students. Gifted classes available for qualified students, not a lot of extra programs beyond that, which larger schools may offer. It is a trade-off depending on what you value more. Kids get to remain innocent longer at this school. Discipline is maintained and you will not see any thugs at this school.
Cons - PE teachers seem to keep the kids in the gym more than playing outside... a big minus in my child's eyes and mine. Kids don't really care that it is hot or cold outside, they just want to run around and burn off energy. While lunch room is very clean and cheerful, the food is very unappetizing to me. I grew up in an era where almost everything was made from scratch by the lunchroom ladies. Those days are gone and pre-prepared seems to be the way to go. They do make an effort to provide healthy balanced meals with a couple choices. Close Quote
