Summary

Lake Elementary School is a K–5 school at 7625 Pinehurst Dr in Mentor-on-the-Lake, Ohio, serving 272 students as part of the Mentor Exempted Village district, which itself ranks in the top quarter of Ohio districts. Lake is the smallest school among its Mentor district peers, so grade-level results rest on roughly 45–90 students per grade and can swing sharply from year to year.

Lake is improving faster than any nearby school. It climbed from the 42nd to the 53rd to the 71st percentile statewide over the last three years — a 454-position jump — while peers like Orchard Hollow Elementary School slipped. In 2025–2026, Lake scored above the state average in all seven tested areas and above its district average in all three math grades, including the highest fifth-grade math score of any Mentor elementary (80%). Its clearest opportunity is upper-elementary reading: fifth-grade ELA (77.5%) is the lowest among the district's elementaries even though it beats the state, and third-grade ELA also trails district peers.

Notably, Lake serves the highest share of low-income students among its district peers (about 53%) with the lowest per-student spending figure in the group and the smallest classes (13.9 students per teacher). Its subgroup results are the standout: low-income students rank at the 81st percentile statewide and special education students at the 75th, meaning the school does better for these students than most Ohio schools do. Chronic absenteeism has fallen every year to 10.9%, below the district's 16.1%, though it is still higher than Bellflower Elementary School and most other Mentor elementaries. One gap to watch: girls rank at the 88th percentile and boys at the 54th.
