Summary

Orchard Hollow Elementary School is a K–5 school serving 359 students in Mentor, Ohio, part of the Mentor Exempted Village district, which is a 4-star district ranked 170 of 773 in Ohio, at the 78th percentile.

Orchard Hollow has historically been strong, generally earning 4 stars from 2020–21 through 2024–25 and reaching 5 stars and the 92nd percentile statewide in 2018–19. In 2025–26, however, it ranks 567 of 1,560 elementary schools — 64th percentile, 3 stars. That is still above the state median, but below the district's own 78th-percentile rank and below every same-district Mentor peer listed, including Hopkins Elementary (87th percentile) and Fairfax Elementary (68th). Students here still outperform the state in every tested subject and grade, but the school trails the district in six of seven tests and the same-district peer average in six of seven. The clearest bright spots are 4th-grade mathematics at 83.9% proficient, above both the district and the state, and 5th-grade ELA at 82.5%, just below the district and well above the state.

Chronic absenteeism is a genuine strength: 8.1% versus the district's 16.1%, lower than Lake Elementary, Sterling Morton Elementary, Melridge Elementary, and Buckeye Elementary, and similar to Ridge Elementary and Hopkins. Effectiveness results are uneven: gifted students ranked 1st of 71 schools (99th percentile, 5 stars) and special education students 80th percentile in 2024–25, while the low-socioeconomic-status ranking fell to 34th percentile / 2 stars from 74th and 80th in the prior two years. Compared with other districts, Maple Elementary and Chestnut Elementary in the 1-star Painesville City Local district rank far lower, while Melridge and Buckeye in Riverside Local rank 387 and 386, slightly ahead of Orchard Hollow.

My daughter went to orchard 3 years ago and I was not pleased. They refused to do any type of an assessment for an IEP and refused to her on a 504. Close Quote
