Summary

Lake Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Mentor On The Lake, Ohio, serving 285 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Mentor Exempted Village School District, which is ranked 211 out of 828 school districts in the state.

While Lake Elementary School is part of a relatively well-performing district, the school itself has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a SchoolDigger rating fluctuating between 2 and 3 stars out of 5. The school struggles academically, particularly in English Language Arts, where proficiency rates are often 10-20 percentage points lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, Lake Elementary has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.6% to 17.0%, compared to the state average.

Interestingly, other nearby schools within the Mentor Exempted Village School District, such as Sterling Morton Elementary, Ridge Elementary, and Bellflower Elementary, generally outperform Lake Elementary School across various metrics, including academic performance, student group rankings, and chronic absenteeism. This suggests that targeted interventions and support could be beneficial in addressing the challenges faced by Lake Elementary School and improving its overall outcomes.
