Summary

Mt. Olive Innovation and Technology High is a 54-student high school serving grades 9–12 in Duarte, California, within Duarte Unified. The most serious concern is chronic absenteeism: in 2025–26, 78% of students were chronically absent, higher than the state’s 18%, the district’s 31%, and every nearby school with a reported rate.

Test proficiency is a clear weakness, particularly in English language arts (ELA), while graduation is a notable strength. In 2025–26, 4% of students were proficient in ELA and 7% in math, compared with 49% and 38% statewide and 50% and 35% in the district. Mt. Olive also trailed the averages of nine nearby schools with results: 35% in ELA and 14% in math. Graduation was much stronger: 95% of Mt. Olive students graduated, above the state’s 88% and the district’s 46%; five nearby schools had higher rates and three had lower ones. The school’s 5% dropout rate was also below the state’s 8% and the district’s 26%.

Results have shifted over time: math proficiency rose from 0% in 2022–23 to 7% in 2025–26, while ELA fell from 26% in 2023–24 to 4% in 2025–26. Graduation increased from 84% in 2021–22 to 95% in 2025–26, even as absenteeism rose 9 points from 2021–22. SchoolDigger ranked Mt. Olive 2,011th of 2,137 California schools in 2025–26, in the 6th percentile with 0 stars; its standing declined from the 18th percentile in 2023–24. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 11.7, below the nearby-school average of 16, and 87% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, a high rate among nearby schools. With just 54 students, results may shift with small cohorts, and the 2025–26 science score is suppressed and cannot be compared.
