I have to echo the comments of the other reviewer on 3.25.22 below. However I am a parent not a student. My son had the same experience they didn't say the N word instead they called his name and made money sounds. The principal Campbell explained it away as a "game" ..which my son wasn't playing btw.. no action. Then to add insult to injury when my son's TOURETTES a documented ada protected disability flares and coprolalia showed up by way of expletives and vulgarity suddenly there are suspensions flying all over the place. They seem to have policy for sick kids but not for HATE CRIMES! SUPERINTENDENT is passive pretends to care shows minimal movement and school board silent everyone sits on their hands. Not one person even followed up to see if my son was ok! My son's teaching staff is awesome I hate he will lose their support change is another ignitor of anxiety/tourettes but his mental health is my main priority!

Teachers and students at this school are serious and committed to excellent education. I would highly recommend this district to anyone in search for their children.

My experience has been good with Lewis, not great. Good School facilities, all the specials classes (music, art, library and gym) are great. Friendly, Polite, Respectful office and school staff. The solon school board is very responsive and helpful.The concern or issue I have is they are not challenging the kids enough based on the skills/talent. Focusing just on the test scores is not enough. If a child is gifted ( math , reading or art) then how is the school making sure the child stays gifted? As a parent there is only a limit to what I can do but its the school's responsibility to have a structured plan. I have seen in other schools which is not rated as high as solon schools having a clear plan for the gifted kids and the kids who need help. They create different groups for kids on their skills to provide attention to all kids. Some kids might need more help which is what every parent needs. Every kid is different. It is during elementary years ,we can nurture and make the kids feel confident in whichever level they are. We meet the teacher only once in the beginning of the year (after 1st quarter) for a conference. How will I know how my child is doing throughout the year? I can obviously call and set up a meeting to meet with the teacher but I think its also the school's responsibility to make sure the teacher and parents meet. I don't think the teacher will have a proper understanding of the kids in the beginning I mean there are 22 to 25 kids in a class with one teacher. I don't blame the teachers. We moved to Solon only for the school. We don't regret sending my child here but we would like to see more positive changes.

I agree with one of the previous posters about the math program not being tweaked for gifted students. My son was in an excel program in Cuyahoga Falls and when we told the school that they kind of brushed us off, but I assumed because Solon held their schools to a higher standard and most schools excel programs was the norm for Solon. But now that he is a 7th grader at Solon Middle school they saw his test scores and NOW they are advancing him to 8th grade algebra. But with that being said...Solon schools have so much more to offer and the communication between the school, the staff and the parents is awesome! We get emails about upcoming events and if there was a disruption at the school (ie...electricity went out one time and they sent an email stating the problem and another when it was back up). I LOVE SOLON!!!

This school is one of the best schools in ohio, and it lives up to that name.
