Summary

Mt. Olive Innovation and Technology High is a very small public high school in Duarte, CA, serving just 54 students in grades 9-12 within the Duarte Unified school district.

The school faces significant challenges, particularly with chronic absenteeism, which at 68.8% is far higher than the state average and nearby schools like Duarte High (13.5%). Academically, proficiency rates are very low, with 0% of students proficient in math and science, and 25% in English, which is substantially below both the district and state averages. Despite this, the school reports a strong 91.2% graduation rate, creating a notable contrast with its academic scores. It operates with a low student-teacher ratio of 11.7:1 and very high per-student spending of $37,834, which is much greater than most surrounding comprehensive high schools.

Mt. Olive shares many characteristics with nearby continuation schools, such as Fairvalley High (Continuation) and Sierra High, suggesting it serves a similar student population needing an alternative path to graduation. The school's performance stands in stark contrast to other schools in the area, including the highly-ranked California School of the Arts - San Gabriel Valley located less than a mile away. This indicates Mt. Olive provides a specific, resource-intensive educational setting focused on helping a high-needs population complete high school.
