6th grade reading SOL score - what are "scaled vertical scores?"

[Anonymous]

DC received 2 scaled scores of 49 each in fiction and nonfiction, a vertical scaled score of 1951, and a scaled score of 600. They didn't miss a single item in fiction, one item in non-fiction and one additional item (separate category).

What does this all mean? Discuss.

Which school system received them already?

600 is the highest score. 400-499 is proficient, 500-600 is advanced. The vertical scaled score is another measure that you can use to compare to the fall and winter growth assessments for which only the vertical scaled score was given.

Thanks. That makes sense. The fall and winter "vertical scaled scores" were 1932 and 1878, resp., so that 1951 number is about in the ballpark. Clearly not perfect scores, so I'm surprised this converts to a 600.

For students who took them on time (not make-ups), the scores were available via the VDOE portal earlier this week. Not sure if all schools and districts are using it, though? Virginia Assessment Parent Portal.

What the hell is Rova?

Let's ask Bard.

What is a person who asks "What the hell is RoVA?" trying to express?

There are a few possible reasons why someone might ask "What the hell is RoVA?".

- They may be unfamiliar with the acronym. RoVA is not a commonly used term, and someone who is not from Virginia or who is not familiar with the state's geography may not know what it stands for.

- They may be trying to make a point about the differences between NOVA and ROVA. NOVA and ROVA are two very different parts of Virginia, and someone who is from one region may not be familiar with the other. By asking "What the hell is RoVA?", they may be trying to express their confusion or disbelief about the other region.

- They may be trying to be funny. RoVA is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek term, and someone who is familiar with the region may use it jokingly to express their feelings about it.

Ultimately, the meaning of the question "What the hell is RoVA?" will depend on the context in which it is asked. However, in general, it is a question that is used to express confusion, disbelief, or humor about the Rest of Virginia.

Here are some possible follow-up questions that someone might ask after asking "What the hell is RoVA?"

- What is the difference between NOVA and ROVA?
- Why is RoVA so different from NOVA?
- What is it like to live in RoVA?
- What are some of the things that RoVA is known for?

By asking these follow-up questions, the person can learn more about the Rest of Virginia and the differences between it and Northern Virginia.

I found the vDOE portal but it says you need a claim code.

Is this legit? I'm impressed. Bard is spot on. He must have found the right DCUM posts to crib from
