It's a small school. There aren't a lot of choices for classes. Teachers are great. The overall environment is very welcoming. I had some of the best years of my life here.

My experience at Solanco High School has been a very good one to say the least. I have been involved in sports my whole life and I wouldn't choose to play my sports anywhere else. The teachers are always there by your side ready to help you when you are in need and also support you in any and all decisions that you make. Overall the staff the staff is very supportive in almost everything you do. I greatly appreciate my school that I went to.

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...
