Reminder About Student Schedules and Placements

As a reminder, student placements are developed by administration and staff using several educational and operational factors, including:
  • Academic data and student needs
  • Staffing and class sizes
  • Support services
  • Balanced student groups
  • Building and scheduling requirements
At Solomon Elementary, ability-based classroom groupings are used only in Kindergarten, 1st Grade, and 2nd Grade and are determined using student data. In Grades 3, 4, and 5 students are placed in heterogeneous classrooms using academic data and operational factors to create balanced learning environments.
