Summary

Olive Elementary is a K–6 school in Orange, California, in Orange Unified, with 319 students. Its most important challenge is that 2025–26 proficiency was below state and district levels in all three subjects, with science the clearest weakness: 26% of students were proficient, compared with 47% in the district and a 44% average at nearby schools.

Compared with the 10 nearby schools, Olive ranked fourth-lowest in ELA, fifth-lowest in math and third-lowest in science. Its ELA result was 39%, versus 49% statewide, 59% in the district and a 49% nearby-school average. Math was 29%, compared with 38% statewide, 47% in the district and a 44% nearby average. In science, its 26% was below the state’s 36% as well as the district and nearby averages. Fourth grade stood out as a particular concern: ELA proficiency was 19%, the lowest among the comparison schools, and math was 22%. A closer nearby match is California iInspire Academy, where ELA and math results were nearly identical, although its science result was higher at 36%.

Science proficiency at Olive fell from 31% in 2022–23 to 26% in 2025–26, while the state improved from 30% to 36%. Attendance offers a positive trend: chronic absenteeism dropped from 45% to 15% over the same five-year span, below the district’s 15% and the state’s 18% in 2025–26. SchoolDigger places the school at the 40th percentile, with 2 stars and a rank of 3,499 out of 5,804. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 21.3, the second-lowest among nearby schools; its free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 75% that year, near the middle of the group. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Special Education Students, a measure of how well the school serves that group, was 21 in 2024–25, compared with the school’s overall percentile of 40; the subgroup percentile had fallen from 61 in 2022–23.
