Summary

Mentone Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 378 students in the Redlands Unified School District, known for performing better than many other local schools with similar high levels of student economic need.

While the school's overall test scores are below district and state averages, it shows significant strengths in supporting specific student groups, such as those with special needs and students from low-income families, who perform well compared to their peers statewide. The school also does an excellent job managing chronic absenteeism, with rates notably lower than the district average and other high-need schools like Franklin Elementary and Lugonia Elementary. However, parents should note a concerning drop in science proficiency in 5th grade and a pattern where math performance tends to decline in the upper grades.

Compared to its closest neighbor, Crafton Elementary, Mentone serves a community with greater economic challenges but achieves a solid middle ranking within the district, performing better than the highest-poverty schools while receiving slightly more funding per student. The school's performance has stabilized in recent years after a period of decline, suggesting it has found effective strategies for its student population.
