Summary

Mentor High School is a large comprehensive public high school in Mentor, Ohio, serving 2,217 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Mentor Exempted Village district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 116th of 795 Ohio high schools — the 85th percentile, with 4 stars — well above its district's 170th of 773. That continues a multi-year climb from 259th of 836 (69th percentile, 3 stars) in 2021–2022.

Academically, Mentor exceeds Ohio proficiency in all six reported End-of-Course subjects. Geometry is the standout at 73.3% proficiency, 30 points above the state and up from 59.8% in 2022–2023. Algebra I is the one soft spot: still above the state at 72.1%, but 6.6 points below the district and essentially flat for several years. Among nearby comprehensive high schools, Mentor is ahead of Riverside Junior/Senior High School, North High School, South High School, Harvey High School, and Fairport Harding High School in nearly every subject. Only Kirtland High School and iSTEM score higher in several subjects, and both are much smaller schools.

Graduation is strong at 97.2%, among the highest locally. The main counterpoint is chronic absenteeism at 25.0%, above the district's 16.1% and up from 20.5% two years earlier. Results for student groups are uneven: gifted, English Language Learner, and Hispanic students rank very high, while African American and multi-racial students rank lower than the school overall. About 29.72% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, up from roughly 20% in 2022–2023.
