Solon High School has excellent teachers and great facilities. It invests and excels at athletics. This investment in athletics sometimes overshadows other needs in the school system including the arts. There is little diversity in Solon High School as it's a small town in Iowa.

I transferred here from a big school. Since it's a small town and small school I thought it would be hard for me from what I was used to my whole life. But it was completely the opposite. I had to move here because I had a stalker who raped me. This school saved my life. The teachers and staff are so kind and welcoming. I got amazing grades because of this and graduation I won awards and got job offers through my CNA that the high school paid for. Before this school I was wanting to end my life..they gave it back to me. And now years later I'm still thankful and still blessed. Thank you Solon <3

No matter where you came from, who you were, or how you learned there were people around every corner to back you up and help lead you in the right direction. I honestly couldn't have asked for any better high school experience than what I got to b...

I moved to Solon for the wireless high school, believing that administrators, teachers and students would be competitive nationally in global media. After volunteering for 2 years 3-4 times per week, I placed my child in a local school that took its orchestra to the Julliard in NYC and which had its...

I have got to say, I graduated from SHS a year ago and I don't believe that the academics are lacking in the least. There are other schools that are way worse off than Solon is and really Solon isn't bad at all. It is true that they could stand to update the books in the classroom, but the students...
