Summary:

The Solanco School District in Pennsylvania consists of 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The district's schools exhibit a mix of academic performance, with some standout institutions like Bart-Colerain Elementary School and Swift Middle School outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests.

Bart-Colerain Elementary and Swift Middle are the highest-ranked schools in the district, with Bart-Colerain ranking 560 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools and Swift Middle ranking 438 out of 893 Pennsylvania middle schools. These schools also have the lowest student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their strong academic performance. In contrast, Solanco High School lags behind the state averages in Algebra I, though it performs better in Biology and Literature Keystone Exams.

The district's schools also exhibit disparities in socioeconomic factors, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranging from 35.25% at Solanco High School to 50.56% at Providence Elementary School.

Additionally, the district's schools have a predominantly white student population, indicating a need to promote diversity and address any potential achievement gaps.
