Do not send your kids here. Administration has no control of the students. Teachers tell the kids “don’t bother coming into class.” Students are set up to fail. I am removing my student

Our daughters just left Solomon this year (2024) for a move to Texas. Our oldest daughter was there for 8 years starting from pre-k to 5th grade, our youngest was there only a couple of years from pre-k to Kindergarten. Our first couple of years there, Solomon was recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School. At that time, we did not know how that would have impacted our daughter's education but nevertheless, it gave us a positive impression. In time, we understood what makes Solomon special was a sense of care and commitment that creates partnerships, from student to teachers/faculties to parents. All of that can be contributed to the commitment from Principle Gamble. He and his team fosters respects and kindness and creates the Solomon Spirit that the kiddos and parents believes in. Being a smaller school with some limited amenities and resources, the school makes up with its smaller class size and focus on academics with engaging and approachable teachers and instructors. Solomon may not have the bells and whistle of newer schools but it has the heart and soul that creates a rich environment for student growth.
