Olive Elementary School

This is where my daughter goes to school. It is a small school and there have been rumors of it shutting down due to lack of funds. It is the on;y school in the area that doens't have smart boards yet. My husband also attended there. I would love to see Olive continue on, the teachers are great and deserve to have smart boards for their students.

They are a small country school with great teachers... They help and teach the children the way a parent would...

My husband, children and grandchildren have or will have graduated from Olive. After losing our daughter, we are raising her son, and he attends Olive, he's a 6th grader. We've had a lot of problems, behavioral, but that's behind us now. But the administration at Olive has always helped us when problems were present. The only thing I find lacking, is books at his reading level, that he would enjoy reading in the library. It's my understanding they're working on that. Keep up the good work, and thanks. D.T.

My 4 yr. old son just began his 'school-life', he's enrolled in all day Head-Start at this school. Olive Schools provides excellent teacher to student ratio, as well as an old-fashioned, yet up to the minute learning environment. Everyone is on a first name basis, and there are 2nd, maybe 3rd generation students attending classes there. They still teach the ethics and morals that they taught 30, 40 yrs ago. I'm glad to say I'm very comfortable with the thought of my child spending 12 yrs. in these people's care. I can think of none better! Sincerely, Lara Coble David mother Nov. 14, 2004

I spent 13 years in the Olive school system. Now I live in the district and my children will be attending there. I believe you could not ask for a more caring faculty. The school plays a huge role in the community and works great with other organizations around Olive. The staff at Olive not only educates our kids but teaches them character. Olive might not every thing the bigger schools have to offer but I know the teachers,coaches,and all administration is doing there best to give you children the best education possible!
