Summary

Dorothy E Lewis Elementary School is a K–4 school in Solon, Ohio, serving 512 students as part of the Solon City School District, which ranks #2 of 773 Ohio districts and holds a 5-star rating. In 2025–2026, the school ranked #16 of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the 99th percentile with 5 stars. That is not a one-year spike: it ranked #10 in 2024–2025, #11 in 2023–2024, #5 in 2022–2023, #7 in 2021–2022, and #3 in 2020–2021, never dropping below the 99th percentile in the years shown.

Test scores are extremely high. In 2025–2026, 95% of third graders met standards in math and 94.2% in English language arts, while fourth graders reached 99% in math and 94.9% in ELA — roughly 30–33 percentage points above Ohio averages. In most tested areas the school sat just below the district average and below Grace L Roxbury Elementary School (ranked #5 statewide) and Parkside Elementary School (ranked #6). "Below district" here means below one of Ohio's top two districts. Compared with Moreland Hills Elementary School, the nearest high-performing non-Solon school, Dorothy E Lewis is ahead by roughly 11–17 points, while most nearby charter schools rank far lower.

Attendance has improved sharply: chronic absenteeism fell from 12.8% in 2021–2022 to 4.2% in 2025–2026, below the district's 6.3% and close to Roxbury's 3.3%, even as nearby non-Solon schools range from about 25% to nearly 60%. Subgroup results are also standouts, with top-1% or near-top statewide rankings for male students, students with disabilities, and students from low-income families. Notably, the school outperforms Moreland Hills despite lower per-student spending and a higher student-teacher ratio. One caution: an older 2017–2018 gifted-and-talented snapshot ranked in the 65th percentile with 3 stars.
