    Solon Community School District Reviews

    Solon has a very unique environment.The administration often doesn't provide students with a lot of guidance on what they should be looking forward to, such as college planning and how to do simple things such as file taxes and apply for a loan after high school. The sports at Solon are excellent, the coaches push the players very hard and often teams find themselves competing at the state level. The music program, although underfunded, also thrives with multiple jazz choirs and band, as well as concert choir, band, drama, and many other groups. As with the sports, the music programs work to push their students to do their best. The only problem is that there is a stigma at Solon that you have to be involved in a lot to be anyone of importance, which not only makes those who do a lot more susceptible to stress and anxiety, but also makes those who are just focusing on getting good grades and learning feel left out of the crowd.

    I’m currently a sophomore in the school. Our school is small and has a lot of team spirt. I have ment opportunity in my school and the staffs teaching abilities are phenomenal. They always encourage students to put there best foot forward in life. Our coaches are also the best human beings. Most of them are or have taught at the school and know how to make us thrive in ourselves. Personally I’m a dancer and cheerleader. I can tell you for certain the our coaches, teachers, faculty and staff only want your child’s education to be the best. It is going to be an honor to graduate Solon High School!
    Solon Community School District is a very welcoming place. It is full of educators that care about the students and their success in school and developing them beyond high school. They take time out of their schedule to make sure the students can reach their full potential. I had a great experience participating in sports and clubs while feeling included in everything I did. Our school has a culture like no other where we all celebrate each others success and hold each other accountable.
