Summary

Solomon Elementary serves 283 students in prekindergarten through eighth grade in Solomon, Kansas. Its all-grades proficiency is close to state results in English language arts (ELA) and math, and a little higher in science. But those averages hide striking differences by grade: fourth-grade math is a standout, while third-grade ELA and math and sixth-grade math are substantial weak spots.

The clearest strength against the state and Solomon district is science: about 40% of students are proficient, compared with 38% statewide and 36% districtwide. Science is also essentially at the nearby-school average. ELA is the clearest comparative shortfall: about 43% are proficient, roughly 3 percentage points below the state and 7 points below nearby schools’ average. Math is about 40% proficient, close to the state and district but 2 points below the nearby average. Grade-level results reveal the sharper contrasts: fourth-grade math reached 70%, 26 points above the state and the highest reported among nearby schools. Third-grade ELA was 34%, 17 points below the state and lower than every nearby school reporting that grade; sixth-grade math was 19%, 22 points below the state and 15 points below Bennington Elementary. Nearby averages are useful context, though the schools do not all serve the same grade spans.

All three subjects improved from 2022–23 to 2025–26: ELA rose from about 25% to 43%, math from 27% to 40%, and science from 27% to 40%. Science fluctuated considerably, falling from 39% to 21% before rebounding to 40%. SchoolDigger places the school at the 30th statewide percentile with 2 stars, up from the 26th percentile in 2022–23 but still below the midpoint. Other context includes a 10.6 student–teacher ratio, below the nearby average of 12.7, and chronic absenteeism of about 10%, versus 18% statewide. Its free/reduced-lunch rate is 62%, 4 percentage points above the nearby average. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves White students puts the group at the 14th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 30th percentile in 2025–26. For Special Education Students, the reported 2022–23 standing was the 62nd percentile, compared with the school’s overall 26th percentile that year; that subgroup result is available for only one year.
