Solis-Cohen Solomon School

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.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
