Overall, the district performs well above the state average, with several standout schools like Mentor High School, Memorial Middle School, and Hopkins Elementary School consistently ranking among the top schools in the state.

Mentor High School is a particularly strong performer, ranking in the top 20% of Ohio high schools and earning 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

While the district as a whole performs well, there is notable variation in performance between individual schools. Some schools, like Lake Elementary, lag behind their peers in test scores and have higher chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests potential equity issues, with higher-poverty schools struggling to keep up with their more affluent counterparts. The district's specialized school, the Cardinal Autism Resource and Education School (CARES), also stands out with a more diverse student population and higher rates of chronic absenteeism.
