Summary

Solis-Cohen Solomon School is an elementary school in Philadelphia, PA that serves 1,278 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Philadelphia City School District, which is ranked 473 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Solis-Cohen Solomon School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school significantly underperforms the district and state in both math and English language arts proficiency, with only 18.3% of students proficient or better in math compared to 25% for the district and 41.7% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students, Disabled students, and English Language Learners. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients, over 99%, indicates a concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, nearby schools in the Philadelphia City School District, such as Spruance Gilbert School, Moore J Hampton School, and Mayfair School, also perform poorly compared to the state but generally outperform Solis-Cohen Solomon School in academic proficiency, despite having similar demographics. This suggests that the challenges faced by Solis-Cohen Solomon School may be more complex and require a comprehensive approach to address the underlying factors contributing to its persistent underperformance.
