Best Public Schools in Solomon, KS

Summary:

The city of Solomon, Kansas is home to two schools - Solomon Elementary and Solomon High, both part of the Solomon school district. While Solomon High has shown signs of improvement, with a 3-star rating and higher graduation rates, Solomon Elementary has struggled with low test scores and a 1-star rating.

Solomon High School appears to be the stronger performer of the two, ranking 151 out of 332 Kansas high schools in the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school has also demonstrated improvement, moving up from a 1-star rating in previous years.

Both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 19.5% and a significant portion of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, with 60.84% at Solomon Elementary and 52.21% at Solomon High in 2023-2024. The district may need to explore targeted interventions and support programs to address the needs of these economically disadvantaged students and improve overall academic performance across the schools.
