At Mentone Elementary, our dedicated staff is committed to providing a well-rounded, enriching school experience. We celebrate student success and work diligently to challenge and support each child as they grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
We focus on developing student leadership, offering hands-on learning experiences, and consistently applying research-based instructional strategies. We are proud of our school culture, where students continue to perform above state averages, and where many describe our environment as having a strong sense of family. We remain committed to fostering a safe, supportive, and engaging place for all students to learn and grow.
