Olivet High School

Summary:

Olivet High School is a public high school located in Olivet, Michigan, serving 448 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Olivet Community Schools district, which is ranked 199 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Olivet High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (89.96%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, it has faced several challenges in recent years. The school's four-year graduation rates have declined from 93.6% in 2019-2020 to 83.7% in 2022-2023, lower than the state average and schools like Eaton Rapids High School (93.8%) and Marshall High School (92.0%). Additionally, Olivet High School has experienced a concerning increase in its dropout rates, rising from 2.3% in 2019-2020 to 10.8% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average and most nearby schools.

Olivet High School's performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, has declined over the years, dropping from a high of 166 out of 852 in 2015-2016 to 344 out of 743 in 2023-2024, and its star rating has decreased from 4 stars to 2 stars. The school's test scores in M-Step Science, M-Step Social Studies, SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, and SAT Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages and the scores of nearby schools like Eaton Rapids High School and Marshall High School. These challenges suggest the need for a comprehensive review of Olivet High School's educational strategies, resource allocation, and support systems to address these issues and improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
