Solanco School District

Summary:

The Solanco School District in Pennsylvania consists of 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole is ranked 360 out of 610 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating, there is significant variation in the performance of individual schools within the district.

The standout schools in the district are Bart-Colerain Elementary School, Quarryville Elementary School, and Providence Elementary School. These schools consistently perform above the district and state averages on PSSA tests for Math, Science, and English Language Arts, with Bart-Colerain and Quarryville ranking among the top 677 and 542 elementary schools in the state, respectively.

In contrast, the middle and high schools in the district generally perform below the state averages on standardized tests, with Smith Middle School and Swift Middle School having lower dropout rates than the state average. The district also faces challenges related to economic disadvantage, with a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across the schools.
