GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

One thing I liked about Solvay High School is the Teachers. Many of the teachers challenge you to continually grow in your academic career. Also, bullying by other students is minimal in my experience.One thing I wish Solvay High School would add to their list of clubs is a debate team. Also, I think Solvay High School should focus more on their sports teams.

The staff is extremely supportive and really want you to succeed. The school is run in utmost fashion. The surrounding community is even more supportive and gives thousands of dollars a year in the form of scholarships. It is really quite amazing.

All the teachers I have had throughout the years have regularly encouraged students to participate in class and make learning more interesting. There have been a few that have not enjoyed teaching as much as others; however, I can say that my education has greatly increased on a scale that I do not believe I could have had anywhere else. I have been blessed going to Solvay High School.

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.
