[[Mentor Exempted Village School District]] operates the public schools in the community. Mentor's school system consists of eight elementary schools, two middle schools, and [[Mentor High School]]. Like many school systems in Ohio, Mentor Schools suffered a financial crisis in the early 2000s, but passed a large levy and is now largely on solid footing.<ref>{{cite news |first=Mark |last=Scott |title=Release by state bittersweet |url=http://www.news-herald.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=13889695&BRD=1698&PAG=461 |publisher=The News-Herald |date=February 4, 2005 |access-date=January 31, 2008 }}{{dead link|date=July 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> It is one of the fastest Ohio school systems ever to emerge from fiscal emergency.<ref>http://www.mentorschools.net/Downloads/025%202005_spring_fiscal_emergency.pdf {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170822201528/http://www.mentorschools.net/Downloads/025%202005_spring_fiscal_emergency.pdf |date=August 22, 2017 }} Mentor Public Schools</ref> The financial difficulties were due in part to years of accounting fraud.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news-herald.com/articles/2004/07/25/opinions/editorials/12471918.txt|title=Mentor voters must approve levy now|website=news-herald.com|access-date=March 23, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120313012832/http://news-herald.com/articles/2004/07/25/opinions/editorials/12471918.txt|archive-date=March 13, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref>{{failed verification|date=August 2015}}
