The faculty at Solvay High are very friendly and helpful- they do whatever they can to help their students. I very much enjoy the partnerships that they have with local colleges such as Syracuse University, Onondaga Community College, and SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry. I would like to see them develop more courses on dealing with money issues, like paying student debt, for example.

Solvay does use many ways to keep faculty, staff, and students safe. Security cameras and locked doors are enough for our school. Once in a while there is a fight, but it is always immediately broken up.

Not very good. My daughter had to leave because she was not being offered any type of support that she desperately needed.

Our school is a great alternative to city school. It has a great diversity and most of the teachers are quite amazing. Would not want my kids to go to any other school.
