SOLON SCHOOLS SHINE WITH 5-STAR EXCELLENCE ON 2024 OHIO SCHOOL REPORT CARD
The district achieved a 5-Star rating overall and 5 Stars on each component area measured on the Ohio School Report Cards
The Solon Schools are beaming with 5-Star excellence! The district has once again demonstrated exceptional performance on the Ohio School Report Card, securing 5 stars across all measured components for 2024.
Solon is one of only 18 districts statewide to attain both an overall 5-Star grade and 5 stars across all component areas. The Ohio School Report Cards use a star rating system for key accountability measures of Achievement, Progress, Gap Closing, Graduation and Early Literacy.
"Today, we are celebrating the journey of growth and perseverance shown by our entire school community," said Solon Schools Superintendent Fred Bolden. "These stellar results reflect the hard work of our students and the tireless efforts of our staff. At Solon, we're committed to nurturing well-rounded individuals, focusing on both academic excellence and personal development. It's heartening to see our students excel academically while also flourishing in areas like the arts, athletics and community service."
The consistent top-tier performance of Solon Schools on the state report card is a testament to the district's enduring commitment to educational excellence.
"Our sustained success is no accident," Mr. Bolden remarked. "It's the result of a carefully crafted and diligently executed strategic plan, coupled with the incredible support of our families and the broader Solon and Glenwillow communities. This partnership is the bedrock of our students' achievements."
Mr. Bolden emphasized the district's approach to meeting evolving educational standards and increased rigor: "In an era where expectations are constantly rising, our focus on continuous improvement is more crucial than ever. We're constantly refining our instructional methods to ensure they're not just current, but ahead of the curve. Our classrooms are dynamic environments where critical thinking, collaboration and real-world problem-solving take center stage."
While everyone in the district is immensely proud of the 5-Star ratings across all components, Mr. Bolden stressed that report card results should be viewed as a milestone, not a finish line. "As we celebrate these excellent results, we're already looking ahead, asking ourselves how we can do better to further enhance our students' educational experience. We know we still have work to do. We have already identified areas for improvement and where we need to dig deeper to ensure we are equipping every one of our students with the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.
"These results reflect our ongoing commitment to educational excellence," he explained. "They inspire us to continue pushing boundaries, innovating our approaches and ensuring everyone in the Solon Schools is doing everything it takes to empower every student every day."
