The U.S. News and World Report recently ranked multiple schools in the Solon City School District in the 2025 Best Elementary and Best Middle Schools rankings, which were released in November. The report includes more than 79,000 public schools that are ranked at the state and district level, a U.S. News & World Report news release stated.
Orchard Middle School earned the No. 1 spot among all Ohio middle schools, while Solon Middle School secured No. 4. In addition, all three of the district’s elementary schools ranked in the top 10 statewide, with Parkside ranking No. 5 in Ohio, Roxbury at No. 7 and Lewis at No. 10.
The 2025 Best Elementary and Best Middle Schools rankings are based on publicly available data from the U.S. Department of Education, the release stated. For district-level rankings, at least two of the top-performing schools must rank in the top 75% of the overall elementary or middle school rankings to qualify for district-level recognition, according to the release.
The release stated the rankings methodology focused on state assessments of students who were proficient or above proficient in mathematics and reading/language arts while accounting for student background and achievement in core subjects. Student-teacher ratios are applied to break ties in the overall score, the release stated.
“The 2025 Best Elementary and Middle Schools rankings offer parents a way to evaluate how schools are providing a high-quality education and preparing students for future success,” LaMont Jones, managing editor for Education at U.S. News, stated in the release. “The data empowers families and communities to advocate for their children’s education. Research continues to indicate that how students perform academically at these early grade levels is a big factor in their success in high school and beyond.”
According to the U.S. News and World Report’s 2024 rankings, Solon High School was named the No. 1 in the Cleveland metropolitan area as the top-ranked high school in the region and ranked No. 4 among all Ohio high schools. In 2023, Solon High School was named the top public high school in the Cleveland area and ranked No. 6 in the entire state in the U.S. News and World Report’s 2023-24 Best U.S. High Schools report, the Cleveland Jewish News previously reported.
