A Message from the Principal

Solomon is a small neighborhood school of 320 students with a diverse population. It is a wheelchair-accessible school in the Peterson Park community. Solomon was a recipient of the 2017 National Blue Ribbon Award from the federal Department of Education for high academic performance. We provide accelerated math instruction for qualifying students in Grades 5-8. Students in grades K-8 receive Mandarin Chinese instruction. Over 90% of our students have met or exceeded state standards in reading, math, and science. Our classes consistently perform at the 90th percentile and higher in proficiency for reading and math in the grades 3-8 state-wide IAR assessment. Solomon has been recognized by the district as an Established Supportive School as a result of its advisory programming, school-wide social and emotional learning supports, and its tiered intervention system for students in need.
