Solomon

The Solomon school district in Kansas operates two schools: Solomon Elementary, which serves grades PK-8, and Solomon High, which serves grades 9-12. While Solomon High has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 252nd out of 318 Kansas high schools in 2023-2024 to 151st out of 332 in 2024-2025, both schools are performing below average compared to their peers across the state.

Solomon Elementary has 263 students and a relatively low statewide ranking of 470th out of 656 Kansas elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are generally below the state averages, with some exceptions in 3rd and 6th grade ELA and 3rd grade Math. Solomon High, with 113 students, is also ranked low at 151st out of 332 Kansas high schools, and its proficiency rates in ELA and Math are below the state averages, though the school performs better in Math compared to ELA.

Both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 60.84% of Solomon Elementary students and 52.21% of Solomon High students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This may be a contributing factor to the schools' academic performance, which is reflected in their low statewide rankings. However, the schools also have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Solomon Elementary at 10.3 and Solomon High at 12.4, suggesting that resources may be allocated differently between the two schools.
