This School’s Reviews

3.0 Sophomore

This school is kind of bad i remember multiple times i got lunch and i would literally find rotten cheese in my salad and one time i found a half eaten grape... a lot of the people in the school are also very racist and childish. Theres some good teachers and students but it feels like the faculty care more about the phone ban and other stupid things then bullying and prejudice. I remember one time i heard literally like 20 kids get called up to the office because they had their phone in their bag instead of the bin in front of the classroom, but i always hear racial comments made towards the non-white kids and the staff and teachers do nothing.

Facilities need to be enlarged and updated. Would like to see more diversified classes offered. More job shadowing for the high school students.

I thought Solanco had various helpful resources that I utilized throughout my whole high school career. One main thing I would change would probably what they put their money into. They should invest in better technology and supplies.

I enjoyed my time at Solanco, but there were always good and bad things to deal with as I was never an outgoing, popular kid. Solanco isn't terrible and if students put effort into their work, they will get a good education. We had two valedictorians in a row go to MIT and lots of other good schools...

Horrible. An absolute waste of four years. I would've been better off taking my chances as a drop-out. In fact a high school diploma from solanco is the equivalent of dropping out in the real world. All the abuse solanco has left on me will affect my life forever. Do your kids the greatest favor and...

Go to a school board meeting or two. Quite often included in there are students that do not meet the typical criteria I have grown accustomed to elsewhere. I think it is easy to disparage a school and it's effort when I only see a school as reflective of the community it represents. I disagree with...
