teacher won't tell us how our kid did on the SOL

[Anonymous]

We all know they know. So, this means he failed and didn't land in the retake window, right? She said that "SOL scores are released by the state and county" but really, let's be honest here. Thoughts?

We would need more context, especially what grade your child is in.

Depending on test, they truly might not know.

ES Teacher here. I’ve said that to parents whose kids have passed.

SOL scores may not be released early. She or he could get in trouble and open a whole lot of nonsense even if your kid passed because other parents may be knocking on her door.

I would not assume he failed. If they were allowed to provide that information to you, wouldn't they do so all the time? Interestingly though. my middle schooler was told his core on both of his SOLs (both high pass).

FERPA request if you really want to know, but the time to do that was before the sol so they couldn’t just run out the clock on responding

No it doesn’t mean that at all. Chill out.

My kid’s school sent a poorly worded email about retakes, so I emailed teacher. She said all she could say was a retake wasn’t necessary. My child is in AAP, so I am relatively certain she passed her grade-level AAP.

I was told they're not allowed to tell us.

Who cares? In elementary, it's a school.issue, not yours. You're gonna have a long road ahead of you if you get this spun up this early.

It was a mixed bag. One teacher told all of the parents every kid passed the SOL in a weekly email. Another was tight lipped. YMMV. There's little consistency here.

I do think it matters, though. If your kid fails, you can get summer school, which can impact camp plans if you need to make new arrangements.

I already have both scores.

No news is good news at our school. If your child fails, you get a call the next day asking if you want them to take the expedited retake.
