Summary:

The Olivet Community Schools district in Michigan consists of 3 schools serving grades K-12: Olivet Middle School, Olivet High School, and Fern Persons Elementary School. The district is ranked 190th out of 613 districts in Michigan and rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating a relatively consistent level of performance across the schools.

Olivet Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 238th out of 883 Michigan middle schools and outperforming the state average in M-Step/ELA and M-Step/Math proficiency for most grade levels. Fern Persons Elementary School also showed strong 3rd-grade performance in M-Step/ELA and M-Step/Math, exceeding the state and district averages. However, all three schools face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be impacting overall student achievement.

Olivet High School had the lowest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 32.38%, while Fern Persons Elementary had the highest at 44.27%. Addressing these differences could help ensure more equitable opportunities for all students in the Olivet Community Schools district.
