What are the Reporting Categories on SOL results?

[Anonymous]

Trying to decipher what areas the scores represent, understanding that each is 0-50. Asking specifically for 7th grade math (two RCs) and 6th grade reading (3 RCs).

Sorry! It’s 2 reading RCs and 3 math.

It should say. For one of my kids, the description is there for one SOL but not for the other. For my other DC, no descriptions. Maybe they'll send out a corrected report.

It just has Reporting Category Results and lists numbers under them with no descriptor next to it. There are blank boxes on either side of the score.

The one SOL that has description is for Algebra, an EOC SOL. So maybe they'll post the finalized SOL reports for the other SOLs later on.

Same with ours. Completely useless.

Glad it’s not just me! I was hoping to look more closely at DC’s math score. Will likely be taking Algebra next year znd want to see what areas of weakness, if any, there are.

I Teach 6th AAP. For 7th Grade Math the Reporting Categories are Number Sense and Computation, Measurement and Geometry and Patterns/Algebra and Statistics. All of the standards fall under that category. There were 20 questions in Patterns/Algebra/Statistics. 10 in Measurement and Geometry and 12 in number sense and computation.

Yeah, I had the same problem with my 4th grader's results. Just a column of random numbers with no descriptors next to it.

Presumably the official reports will come out during the summer. Like usual.

These were placed there by the County, one would think that they would wait until they could put the categories next to the scores.

No, parents are demanding immediate scores. So we're getting immediate scores.

Not really. Kids took these tests and teachers/principals had scores more than a month ago. Last week we got random numbers with no categories in SIS>

No reason we shouldn’t have them sooner. SOLs were over in May. It’s the end of June and the test was on a computer. Ridiculous.

They know the scores for each category and the categories. They posted incomplete scores for some reason.

Stop making it seem unreasonable that parents want a timely release of test performance. It isn’t unreasonable.
