Summary:
The 49076 zip code area is home to 3 schools in the Olivet Community Schools district, including 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. While the schools share some similarities, such as a predominantly White student population and high chronic absenteeism rates, they also exhibit distinct strengths and areas for improvement.
Olivet Middle School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts, where its proficiency rates significantly exceed the state averages. In contrast, Olivet High School has shown more variable results, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between the top and bottom half of Michigan high schools. However, the high school's 11th grade proficiency rates in ELA and Social Studies are slightly above the state averages.
Fern Persons Elementary School has shown improvement in recent years, with its 3rd grade proficiency rates in ELA and Math exceeding the state averages. This suggests that the district may be facing greater socioeconomic challenges at the lower grade levels, as evidenced by the higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at the elementary and middle school levels compared to the high school. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates across all three schools will be an important focus for the district moving forward.
