Summary:
The city of Olivet, Michigan is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school. The schools are part of the Olivet Community Schools district, which is ranked 190 out of 613 districts in the state.
Among the standout schools in Olivet, Olivet Middle School is the highest-performing, ranking 238 out of 883 Michigan middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has outperformed the state average in M-Step/English Language Arts and M-Step/Math proficiency. In contrast, Fern Persons Elementary School has shown improvement, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating, and its 3rd-grade M-Step scores exceeded the state averages in 2023-2024.
However, all 3 Olivet schools face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, which are significantly above the state average at 29.5%. Additionally, while Olivet High School had stronger performance in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing on the SAT, its Mathematics scores were lower. The district's consistent performance suggests a potential influence on individual school results, and addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism could be a key focus area for the district.
