My experience here has and always will be a good one. The moment I walked into the school as a freshman, I was instantly greeted by multiple students, teachers and staff. If you're a new student coming in at Solon High School, you will be made welcome by every single person there. You will almost instantly fit in. One of the most underrated things about this school is it's diversity. The school is filled with people from all over the world. There are indians, african americans, chinese, japanese, polish and many more. The one thing in my opinion that needs to be changed is just the lunch preparation. I think there needs to be a better way to manage which lunch period students go to. With that being said, for any student that reads this and is planning on attending Solon High School, just know it's going to be an experience of a life time.
I loved my high school experience. After coming from a private Jewish school, I didn't know what to expect. I came to Solon after learning at Gross Schechter Day School for 11 years of my life and I felt extremely prepared going into high school. I knew I wanted to be involved with the arts in high school because of my previous experience in musical theater. My freshman year, I wasn't involved with the fall play, but one of my friends pushed me to audition for the annual one acts. The one acts are senior directed one-act plays and when I was cast in "Oz", a sequel to "The Wizard of Oz", it changed my perspective of the drama club and how I can improve my acting, singing, and dancing skills. Overall, drama club has been my favorite part of my high school career, and because of the different productions I have been in, I now have more friends than I could have imagined.
While Solon High School has a very diverse staff and student body, a large majority of the teachers seem to prefer keeping their students grades up and preparing them for college over their students well-being. The education is great, but in terms of conversation and thought process, it's all we ever talk about. There's not usually a whole lot of real conversation, it's usually just, "Oh I have a 96% in [Class] I'm failing so bad" or, "I'm so tired I'm just gonna sleep in all of my classes today." and to put icing on the cake, "You got a B on that quiz?!?! Wow you're so dumb how did you even get into [Random Honors or AP Class]???? While all of this may be true, the music program is amazing and thriving. We currently have ~350 students in the band alone, and have overall 4 bands, 3 orchestras, and 4-5 choirs as well.
