While Solomon Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of students (57.36%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families, its academic performance is generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2022-2023, only 29% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41%, and in mathematics, the proficiency rates were even lower, with only 21% of 3rd graders and 29% of 5th graders meeting the standards, compared to the state averages of 43% and 36%, respectively. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated over the years, ranging from 253 out of 1,158 schools in 2012-2013 (4-star rating) to 557 out of 1,245 schools in the most recent year (3-star rating).
When compared to nearby schools, such as Discovery Plus Academy, a public charter school located 13.73 miles away, Solomon Elementary School generally underperforms in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates across all grade levels. The school's performance has shown a declining trend over the years, and its racial makeup, with a majority Hispanic student population, may also contribute to the observed performance gaps, as evidenced by the lower rankings for Hispanic and White students compared to the overall school ranking.
