High Schools in Olive

There is only one high school located in Olive, Oklahoma - Olive High School. This small, rural school serves students in grades 9-12 and faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, funding, and overall school quality.

Olive High School has a total enrollment of 93 students, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (80.65%) and a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds (72.04% receive free or reduced-price lunch). The school's academic performance is relatively low, with only 24.1% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 3.5% in Mathematics, 6.9% in Science, and 24.1% in U.S. History. This has led to a decline in the school's statewide ranking, from 46 out of 197 high schools in 2016-2017 to 385 out of 439 in 2022-2023.

Despite the school's low academic performance, it does have some positive factors, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3 and higher-than-average spending per student at $12,999. However, these resources do not appear to be sufficient to address the school's broader challenges. Addressing the issues at Olive High School will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions, increased resources, and a focus on improving teaching and learning practices within the Olive school district.
