Open Quote Solano is a great school starting with the friendly staff in the front office. There is a careful balance of new, enthusiastic teachers and experienced teachers with decades of experience. All students receive free breakfast, uniforms are enforced, and there are many options available for afterschool care and activities which is really helpful for working parents. Plus, the school is performing very well in a variety of areas including writing and math! Close Quote

Open Quote I'm glad this writing to express my respect and gratitude, the District Osborn.
When my children were born I thought I had the tools to offspring and raise them, but I realized I'm in a different culture and generation.
I feel fortunate to have arrived at this District, because they care about academic and emotional development of my children.
Selects and features the best people, gives us security and confidence.
I appreciate the effort and interest in the development of "The Parent Academy."
The Parent Academy is an excellent resource for all parents, we're full of energy, experience, skills and resources for the development and education of our children.
But mostly I'm sure of myself, now that a good example of overcoming struggle and have children for a successful future.
I hope in the future continue to create new projects.

THANKS

Open Quote I want to express myself about the parent academy held Solano School this summer in the Osborn School District. I'm happy to be in these classes because I learned many strategies to educate and teach my children. I ask this district to continue to give more classes.

And I was pleased to meet the parent involvement coordinator and parent liaisons. I feel they are best friends because they helped me. I want to give thanks for the effort, patience, and dedication of the teachers. I wish them the best, that God bless and keep going... do not stop giving us, the parents, more classes. I know that I'll share everything I learned in the Parent Academy to others in the community.
I am also glad to have known that OSBORN SCHOOL DISTRICT has many different programs and classes. I will have them in my mind and I will remember that I learned a lot in the Parent Academy THANKS.

I actually attend another district and am going to place my children at Osborn this school year. Close Quote

Open Quote Mary

My kids like Solano School, well, the reason is they are very happy in school, they are learning, they are reading, they are writing, they are helping, they are playing… … of cause, they are happy!
One of my favorite things is my kids love to reading the books, writing the new story for me, before they go to bed and they ask me for read a story for me, sometimes they are read me a story too. They are retuning their homework on time; they are share to each other about their classroom’s fun stuff or new learning.
When I joy Summer Parent Academy in the Osborn District No. 8, my kids ask me what I learned; I told them I had learned a lot. My kids tell me: “Let’s enjoy the study and let’s do it!”
I want say thank you to Solano School and Osborn District NO. 8 and America, we are proud of American. Close Quote

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.
