Summary:
Solis-Cohen Solomon School is an elementary school in Philadelphia, PA, serving 1,250 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Philadelphia City School District, which is ranked 494 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, Solis-Cohen Solomon School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 1163 and 1357 out of around 1,500 schools.
The school's academic performance is a significant concern, as it significantly underperforms the district and the state of Pennsylvania in proficiency across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 18.8% of students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 21.8% for the district and 40.4% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 14.6% to 23% across grade levels, compared to the state's 42.8% to 51.4%. Additionally, the school's performance is especially concerning for certain student subgroups, with Asian, Hispanic, White, and Disabled students ranking in the bottom 10-15% of their respective subgroups statewide.
Interestingly, the nearby Spruance Gilbert School, Moore J Hampton School, and Mayfair School generally outperform Solis-Cohen Solomon School in academic proficiency, with higher percentages of students scoring proficient or better in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts. Despite the increased spending per student and the school's consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, Solis-Cohen Solomon School has not shown any significant improvement in its academic performance over the past decade, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of the school's strategies and resources to address the underlying challenges and improve educational outcomes for its students.
