Summary:
Zip code 62069 has one high school, Mt Olive High School, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 151 students. Its 2025–2026 results show strengths in science and some grade 10 results, but mathematics is the clearest concern: Mt Olive scored below the state in math across all three tested grades, with gaps of 10 to 19 percentage points. Its three-result math average was 27%, compared with 39% statewide—a 13-point shortfall.
There is no meaningful local top-to-bottom school ranking because Mt Olive is the only school listed. Its strongest subject overall was science: the three-result average was 54%, versus 48% statewide, a 7-point advantage. That strength was not consistent across grades: Mt Olive was ahead by 17 points in grade 10 PreACT science and 10 points in grade 11 ACT science, but 8 points behind in grade 9 PreACT science. English language arts was mixed: the grade 10 result was 10 points above the state, while grade 9 was 13 points below and grade 11 was 14 points below; the three-result average was 6 points below the state. Because this area has only one listed school, these comparisons cannot show how Mt Olive performs against local peer schools.
Recent results moved in sharply different directions by grade: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, grade 9 PreACT fell 30 points in ELA and 17 in science, while grade 10 PreACT rose 3 points in ELA, 18 in math and 12 in science. These are different student cohorts, so they do not form a simple schoolwide trend. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking also declined, from 105th of 697 schools (85th percentile) in 2023–2024 to 323rd of 620 (48th percentile) in 2025–2026. Other context: the graduation rate was 84%, compared with 90% statewide, while chronic absenteeism was 23% versus 24%. In 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 12:1 and 48% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible.
