Summary

Memorial Middle School is a 6–8 school serving 852 students in Mentor, Ohio, part of the Mentor Exempted Village district in the Cleveland area. In 2025–26 it ranked 131st of 1,046 Ohio schools (87th percentile, 4 stars), placing it well above its district's overall percentile and making it the stronger of Mentor's two middle schools. Performance has been remarkably steady: Memorial has earned 4 stars nearly every year for a decade, with statewide percentiles mostly in the 83rd–88th range.

Academically, Memorial is strong across every subject and grade tested. Its proficiency rates beat both district and state averages in all reported areas, and its Algebra I End-of-Course proficiency was 100% in 2025–26 — following 100%, 99%, and 98.9% in the three prior years. Compared with its same-district peer Shore Middle School, Memorial leads on Math 8 (80.2% vs. 61.2%), ELA 8 (74.2% vs. 63.2%), Science 8 (75.3% vs. 66.1%), and absenteeism. The school also performs well for students with disabilities (89th percentile) and low-income students (83rd percentile) in 2025–26 — a meaningful signal, since the free/reduced-price lunch rate rose from about 21% in 2022–23 to 27% in 2024–25 while scores stayed high.

The clearest relative weakness is chronic absenteeism: 18.0% in 2025–26, higher than the district average of 16.1% and above Perry Middle School (15.3%), Chardon Middle School (14.4%), School of Innovation (9.4%), and Kirtland Middle School (7.1%), though it improved from 22.9% the year before. Memorial ranks below those three top regional schools in some ELA and science measures, and its per-student spending of $7,992 (2018–19) and student-teacher ratio of 15.7 are moderate rather than generous — suggesting the school gets strong results without unusually small classes or high spending. Overall, Memorial is a consistently upper-tier school that outperforms most nearby middle schools.
