Education

The City of Mendota education is served by two school districts. The high school is under School District #280, and all of the elementary schools are in School District #289. Our schools are organized by grades and not neighborhoods. Buses do meet at each school to transport students to each school. Our schools offer a variety of extra-curricular activities for students.
