Summary

Mentone Elementary School is a public school in Mentone, Indiana, serving 384 students in grades PK–5 as part of the Tippecanoe Valley School Corp. It ranks 320th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 68th percentile, with a 3-star rating — a steady climb from 486th (52nd percentile) in 2022–2023.

Academically, math and science are the school's standout strengths. All-grade proficiency was 56.12% in math and 58.49% in science, both far above the district's roughly 39% averages. Among nearby schools, math ranks third (behind Eisenhower Elementary School at 63.81% and Madison Elementary School at 61.45%), and science ranks second. English language arts is solid at 46.43% — above district and state grade-level benchmarks and essentially tied with Washington Elementary School, though below Madison, Eisenhower, and Triton Elementary School. Within its own district, Mentone far outpaces Akron Elementary School, where all-grade proficiency was 28% in ELA, 33.71% in math, and 31.25% in science. The main academic soft spot is Grade 5 Social Studies at 42.67% — above the district but below the state, and historically volatile.

Two other features stand out for families. Chronic absenteeism was 6.7% in 2024–2025, well below the district's 9.4% and the state's 16.7%, and lower than most nearby schools. And with 59.38% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Mentone serves more economic need than Madison, Eisenhower, Triton, Washington, Jefferson Elementary School, and Lincoln Elementary School, yet outperforms several of them in math and science — a pattern suggesting strong instruction and support systems. Per-student spending was $10,939 in 2023–2024, and the student–teacher ratio of 13.2 is among the smallest classes in the area.
