Summary:
The 62069 zip code in Illinois is home to two schools, Mt Olive Elementary School and Mt Olive High School, both part of the Mount Olive CUSD 5 district. While the elementary school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the high school has seen significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking, suggesting challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance.
Both schools face high chronic absenteeism rates, with over 25% of students chronically absent in 2024-2025. Academically, the elementary school's proficiency rates in ELA and Math on the IAR assessment are generally below the state averages, while the high school's proficiency rates on the ACT and PreACT Secure assessments are mixed, with ELA scores above the state average but Math scores significantly below. However, both schools perform better on science assessments, with the high school scoring above the state average on the ISA science test.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as both schools have relatively high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 43.31% for the elementary school and 50.75% for the high school in 2023-2024. The district's spending per student is similar between the two schools, at $14,429 for the elementary school and $14,589 for the high school in 2023-2024. Addressing attendance issues, targeting academic support, and considering the impact of socioeconomic factors could be key priorities for the district to improve student success in the 62069 zip code.
