Lake Elementary School

Summary:

Lake Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Mentor On The Lake, Ohio, serving 306 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Mentor Exempted Village School District, which is ranked 193 out of 839 school districts in the state.

While Lake Elementary School has some areas of strength, such as its 5th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate being higher than the state average, the school faces several challenges. It has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.0% in 2019-2020 to 16.6% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's overall test scores are generally below the district and state averages, and its statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 614 out of 1,636 Ohio elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 914 out of 1,577 in 2023-2024.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Mentor Exempted Village district, Lake Elementary School generally underperforms on test scores and has higher chronic absenteeism rates. However, it serves a higher percentage of low-socioeconomic status students, which may contribute to these challenges. The school's ranking for gifted and talented students is also in the bottom half of Ohio elementary schools, suggesting the need to focus more on meeting the needs of its high-achieving students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
