About Dorothy E Lewis Elementary School

Dorothy E Lewis Elementary serves kindergarten through fourth grade in Solon, Ohio, with 527 students enrolled. The school earns a composite score of 9.4 out of 10, rated Exceptional, anchored by a perfect 10.0 academic score and a 9.4 growth score. That combination — strong test performance alongside consistent measured growth — places Lewis in a different tier from most Ohio schools.

The rankings make that concrete. Lewis sits 19th among 1,742 Ohio elementary schools and ranks second out of 8 schools within Solon. Across all grade levels, it places 32nd out of 3,440 Ohio public schools, outperforming 99% of the state.

Few schools manage top scores on both achievement and growth at the same time — Lewis does. Lewis operates as a regular public school with a student-teacher ratio of 20.3 to 1. For parents comparing elementary options in the Solon area, the core numbers are hard to argue with: a perfect academic score, a top-20 rank among Ohio elementaries, and an Exceptional rating on growth don't often align in a single school.

What Parents Should Know

The student-teacher ratio at Dorothy E Lewis Elementary School is 20.3:1, which is higher than the national average. This may mean larger class sizes, so parents should ask about classroom support, teaching assistants, and how the school differentiates instruction for students who need extra help.
