Summary:

The Mount Olive CUSD 5 district in Illinois serves two schools: Mt Olive Elementary School and Mt Olive High School. The district is ranked 395 out of 811 districts in Illinois and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Mt Olive Elementary School has seen relatively stable academic performance, with proficiency rates ranging from 42.1% to 64.1% in ELA and 23.1% to 43.8% in math, Mt Olive High School has experienced significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking, going from 451 out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2022-2023 to 105 out of 697 in 2023-2024, and then dropping back to 247 out of 698 in 2024-2025. This volatility suggests the high school may be facing challenges that need to be addressed.

Both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 25.4% for the 2024-2025 school year, which is an area of concern that warrants further investigation. Additionally, the high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 43.31% to 50.75%, indicates the district serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, and ensuring equitable access to resources and support for these students could be an important focus area.
