Summary

Bellflower Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Mentor, Ohio, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 469 students. The school is part of the Mentor Exempted Village School District, which is ranked 211 out of 828 school districts in Ohio and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bellflower Elementary School has shown strong academic performance, with students consistently scoring above the state average in Ohio State Tests across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Bellflower's 4th-grade students scored 84.9% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 69.1%. The school has also performed well across different student subgroups, with the school's male students and special education students ranking in the top 400 Ohio elementary schools in their respective categories. However, Bellflower Elementary School has experienced a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 15.5% to 17.0% in recent years, which is an area the school may want to focus on to improve student attendance and engagement.

Bellflower Elementary School's performance is generally on par with or slightly above the other Mentor Exempted Village elementary schools in the area, such as Hopkins Elementary, Ridge Elementary, and Orchard Hollow Elementary. However, it lags behind some of these schools in certain metrics, such as 5th-grade Science proficiency. Additionally, Bellflower Elementary School has a lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (27.72% in 2023-2024) compared to some of the other nearby schools, such as Lake Elementary (57.89% in 2023-2024) and Jefferson Elementary (58.75% in 2023-2024), suggesting that Bellflower serves a relatively more affluent student population, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance.
