The best part about Solon High School is school's support of academic classes and clubs, and the worst part is the school's competitiveness among students. I would change the school's atmosphere to be more collaborative and open-ended in its structure and curriculum.

very supportive of my children. nothing but wonderful experiences from academics, athletics, clubs and music program.

There's a lot of clubs and activities and teachers are very helpful. I would say the only problem is that this is a highly competitive school. Most students are gunning for top colleges, and the environment may be harsh on your mental health.
