Summary
Solon High School is a 9–12 public high school in Solon, Ohio, with 1,519 students in the Solon City School District. The district ranks #2 of 773 Ohio districts with 5 stars, and the high school ranks #33 of 795 in 2025–2026, the 96th percentile with 5 stars. It was #5 of 800 in 2017–2018, so it remains elite even though its relative rank has drifted. Core outcomes are very strong: a 98.9% graduation rate, 9.9% chronic absenteeism, and End-of-Course proficiency far above the state in every tested subject.
Compared with nearby schools, Aurora High School and Chagrin Falls High School slightly outrank the school in 2025–2026, and Chagrin Falls outperformed it in all six End-of-Course subjects. Aurora outperformed it in Government, History, English II, and Algebra I, while it was slightly higher in Biology and Geometry. It still outperformed Orange High School, Twinsburg High School, and Nordonia High School in most subjects. Its clearest relative weaknesses are English II (88.0, down from 92.9) and American History (92.0, down from 97.9), though both remain well above state averages. Math is solid but below the district aggregate: Geometry 84.6 vs. 89.0 and Algebra I 83.3 vs. 92.5, likely reflecting district-wide test-takers.
The school serves a more economically diverse student body than several high-performing peers: 17.58% free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, up from 11.33% in 2022–2023. It has an 18.5 student-teacher ratio and spent $15,286 per student in 2018–2019—less than Orange High School’s $22,749—yet it generally outperforms most nearby high performers. Chronic absenteeism is the lowest among listed nearby high schools, and low-income, English-language-learner, and special-education subgroup results are strong. Overall, it is a large, highly effective, 5-star school with excellent graduation and attendance outcomes; its main competitive challenge is that the very top of its nearby peer group has matched or slightly exceeded it in recent scores and rankings.
