Summary:
The 67480 zip code is home to a single high school, Solomon High, which serves students in grades 9-12. With an enrollment of 113 students, Solomon High is ranked 172 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Solomon High maintains a respectable 89.5% four-year graduation rate, the school's academic performance appears to be declining. In 2024-2025, only 35.47% of 10th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 37.93%, and 38.7% were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 33.59%. This trend is even more pronounced in the previous year, with only 20% of 10th graders proficient or better in ELA and 13.33% in Math, well below the state averages. Additionally, the school faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% in 2024-2025.
Despite the school's relatively high spending of $16,019 per student and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.4, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school serves a population with a significant socioeconomic disadvantage, with over 52% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. These factors may be contributing to the school's declining performance and high chronic absenteeism rates, which require further investigation to identify potential areas for improvement.
