Summary:
The city of Mentone, California has only one school, Mentone Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten to 5th grade and is part of the Redlands Unified School District. Mentone Elementary has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students, but its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, is generally lower than the district and state averages.
Mentone Elementary's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% is higher than the state average, and a significant majority (79.72%) of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 24.8 is higher than 12 other elementary schools in the Redlands Unified School District, suggesting that the school may benefit from additional staffing resources to provide more individualized attention and support for students.
Overall, the analysis of Mentone Elementary highlights the need for the school and district to closely examine the factors contributing to the lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates, and to develop targeted strategies to address these challenges and support the success of all students. Improving instructional practices, addressing attendance issues, and providing additional resources and support for economically disadvantaged students could be important areas of focus for the school and district.
