Summary

Mount Olive Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 310 students in grades K-5 in King, North Carolina. The school is part of the Stokes County Schools district, which is ranked 133 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mount Olive Elementary consistently outperforms the Stokes County Schools district and the state of North Carolina in academic proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 84.1% of 3rd graders at Mount Olive were proficient or better in Math, compared to 64% for the district and 64.1% for the state. The school also has particularly strong performance among its special education and low-income student populations, ranking 79th and 278th out of all North Carolina elementary schools in those categories, respectively.

While Mount Olive Elementary outperforms its district, some nearby schools in other districts, such as Old Richmond Elementary and Shoals Elementary, also demonstrate strong academic performance, particularly in math and reading. This suggests that factors beyond just the district may be contributing to the school's success. Despite its high performance, Mount Olive Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, highlighting the school's ability to overcome these challenges and provide a high-quality education for its students.
