Best Public Schools in Solon, ME

Summary:

The city of Solon, Maine is home to a single elementary school, Solon Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Despite its small size of just 73 students, Solon Elementary stands out as a high-performing institution, ranking in the top 21% of all Maine elementary schools and earning a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Solon Elementary's impressive statewide ranking has been on an upward trajectory, improving from 117th in 2017-2018 to 60th in the most recent 2022-2023 school year. This progress is particularly noteworthy given the school's low student-teacher ratio of 8.7, the lowest among the 3 elementary schools in the Regional School Unit 74/Maine School Admin District 74. The small class sizes at Solon Elementary likely contribute to the individualized attention and support students receive.

While Solon Elementary's academic performance is commendable, the data also reveals that a significant portion of the student body, 69.86%, qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic need in the community. This economic challenge may impact the school's resources and the support available to students and their families, but Solon Elementary's continued improvement in statewide rankings suggests the school is dedicated to providing a quality education despite these obstacles.
