Summary

Hopkins Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 466 students in Mentor, Ohio, part of the Mentor Exempted Village district, and it stands out as one of the top-ranked elementary schools in the state—198th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it at the 87th percentile with 4 stars, above its district's own 78th-percentile standing.

Academics are the main draw. Hopkins leads its same-district peers—including Bellflower Elementary, Ridge Elementary, Lake Elementary, Fairfax Elementary, and Orchard Hollow Elementary—in Grade 5 science (82.3% proficient), Grade 4 math (85.9%), and English language arts in Grades 3, 4, and 5. Grade 5 ELA is exceptional at 93.7% proficient, compared with 83.8% district-wide and 70.4% statewide, and it has stayed in the high 80s to mid 90s for four straight years. Science has also been steady above district and state averages. Math is strong overall but less dominant: Grade 3 math (75.6%) sits just under the district rate, and Kirtland Elementary—the only nearby school ranked higher than Hopkins, at 136th—outperforms it in math at every grade.

Attendance is a big differentiator: 6.5% chronic absenteeism versus 16.1% for the district, and far lower than Grant Elementary (17.1%) and Melridge Elementary (19.4%). Hopkins also has a low free/reduced-lunch percentage (15.67%) and a relatively high student-teacher ratio (19.7), yet reported the highest per-student spending among nearby schools in 2018–2019 ($12,781)—though that figure is historical context rather than current data. One thing to watch: results for low-income students swung from the 98th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 57th percentile in 2024–2025, a notable shift worth monitoring.
