How is the new 10 percent SOL grade going to work?

[Anonymous]

If someone gets, for example 500 (pass advance) do they get 100 percent for their 10 percent grade? Or would it an 83 because 500/600 is 83%? How actually will this play out in the grade book?

I thought it starts next school year.

It's the following school year (26-27). SOLs will be scored 1-100.

This doesn’t seem fair. For example, my child had an A in English but only passed the reading SOL (not pass advanced). Does this mean his class grade now suffers?

It is utterly ridiculous and should be protested.

No one knows. We were talking about this about our department meeting last week. No information is out yet. -teacher

As currently presented in govt by both parties answer is yes, the SoL is to count 10% so yes, would bring grade down, but as others say here, a lot to be figured out. Will there need to be adjustments for SPED kids taking SOL or ESOL and what will those be? On the other end will be some parents concerned will impact grades that will be presented to colleges. Will kids still be able to opt out? Will kids be able to retake even if don’t fail to try to up score? Will SOL now be only final? Will courses that don’t have SOL now start being required to have SOL?

Is this only for high school?

Do you know about articles and prepositions in the English language? The word "the" makes paragaphs like yours much easier to read. Try it sometime!

We have no idea. VDOE under Youngkin loves to come up with stuff like this with like, zero details about how it’ll be realistically implemented. Same with all this random literacy training they shoved on us last minute this year to the tune of like 32 hours. They just say stuff and make districts scramble to figure it out.

Sorry. No, I don’t. Went to FCPS and wasn’t taught that. Be glad I could almost spell.
