Summary

Mount Olive Intermediate School in Fort Mitchell, AL, serves 345 students in grades 3 through 5 and is part of the Russell County school district. The school holds a 2-star rating, placing it in the 46th percentile of Alabama elementary schools, with performance that has been stable over the past decade.

The most impressive thing about Mount Olive is its student attendance. Only 5.2% of students are chronically absent, which is far better than the district rate of 10.9% and the state rate of 12.0%. This has been a consistent trend for years, suggesting strong family-school connections and a welcoming environment. Another notable strength is the school's work with Hispanic students, who ranked in the 90th percentile statewide in 2024-2025. However, there is a clear gap between subjects: English Language Arts proficiency is at or above state averages in all grades, while math proficiency lags behind, especially in 5th grade where the gap is nearly 14 points. The good news is that math scores have been improving over the last two years, with 3rd-grade math proficiency jumping from 30% to 44%. The school also saw a dramatic shift in its student population, with the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch dropping from 68.55% to 37.68% in one year.

Compared to nearby schools, Mount Olive outperforms Oliver Elementary (26th percentile) and is on par with Ladonia Elementary (47th percentile). However, there is a significant achievement gap when compared to Lakewood Elementary in the Phenix City district, where proficiency rates are often 20-30 points higher. Mount Olive's attendance is better than Lakewood's, though. The school spends $9,863 per student, which is more than Lakewood but less than Ladonia, and its student-teacher ratio of 20.2 is higher than most nearby schools, which may impact individualized attention in areas like math.
