Best Public Schools in Mentone, IN

Summary:

Mentone, Indiana is home to a single elementary school, Mentone Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly above the Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation district and the state of Indiana, with some variations by grade level and subject. However, the school serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, with over 54% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Mentone Elementary School has a student enrollment of 440, with a predominantly White student body (86.36%) and smaller percentages of Hispanic (11.59%) and African American (0.45%) students. The school's student-teacher ratio is 14.4 to 1, and it spent $9,516 per student in the 2021-2022 school year. While the school's academic performance is generally solid, its chronic absenteeism rate of 8.7% is worth monitoring, as high rates of chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and outcomes.

Overall, Mentone Elementary School appears to be the only educational option for the Mentone community, which could indicate a relatively small population or limited educational choices in the area. The school's performance suggests it is providing a solid educational foundation for its students, but the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the need to address chronic absenteeism may present unique challenges and opportunities for the school and its staff.
