Summary

Olivet High School, part of the Olivet Community Schools district, serves 404 students in grades 9-12 in the small town of Olivet, MI, and has engineered one of the most impressive turnarounds in the region.

Just a few years ago, in the 2021-2022 school year, this school ranked in the bottom 20% of Michigan high schools. Today, it sits in the top 25% statewide, a remarkable climb that reflects real, systemic change. The school's 11th graders now post proficiency rates of 55.4% in both Science and Social Studies on state exams—about 20 points above the state average in science and higher than nearby Marshall High School (52.1%) and Springport High School (43.9%). Reading and writing scores are equally strong, with 61.4% of juniors proficient in SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, outpacing Eaton Rapids High School and nearly every school in the area except Marshall. Graduation rates have climbed to 92.4%, while dropout rates have fallen to under 1%.

The one area that needs attention is math. While 36.1% of 11th graders are proficient—still above the state average—the school's 9th and 10th graders score below state averages on the PSAT math section. This suggests the school excels in literacy and analytical subjects but is still working to build stronger foundational math skills in younger students. Notably, the school's success extends across student groups, including those from low-income backgrounds, and it serves a student population with a lower rate of economic disadvantage (24.26%) than nearby Bellevue JrSr High School (44.13%) or Pennfield Senior High School (50.67%). For parents, this is a school on a clear upward trajectory—one that has proven it can deliver strong results in most subjects and is actively working to close the math gap.
