If it keeps them from losing an elective in middle school or high school due to needing a remediation class, they should retake the SOL. If they actually need the help, they should take the class of course.

No one is forced to take a remediation class regardless of SAT score. There is no difference in the reading ability between a kid who scores 399 and a kid who scores 425.

true, but the IEP meetings just hang their hats on numbers

According to the Virginia Literacy Act, there is.

Well one is about a 50% and one is about 60%. You could argue your kid doesn’t know much either way but it’s 10%, of course cheating on the SOL is rampant ever since they started testing on the computer. It’s hardly a reliable measure anymore.

This whole process is so stupid

what? Of course, it’s some type of achievement. It is for the student and family to know. It’s their education.

Um, no. It's an assessment of whether or not the teacher taught the material correctly and your kid understood it. It's a test of the teacher/curriculum. I have never put any kind of pressure, education or not, on my kids about SOLs and I have never signed a retake form. I also tell them that this is a state-wide test, so the kids in a small school system in rural VA are taking the same test as our kids here in Fairfax County.

I'm ok with SOLs but the excessive amount of testing in Fairfax County has become onerous and takes away from class time.

It would be nice to know immediately like the MAP scores.

The kid gets more comfortable taking standardized tests which is generally a good thing.

Every school handles it differently. We usually wait a full month after.

Now our AP wrote an email saying that the instructions were not read correctly to the students and everyone has the choice to retake it at our school, if they choose so. The problem is: we do not know how the kids did to decide!

Is this only Secondary? My kids who scored took their reading SOL last week and no scores are posted.

Different levels have different attitudes towards SOLs. In my experience-

Elementary-
Big deal and big secret. You get them mailed in the summer. Maybe you find out with the last report card.

Middle school -
Tons of pressure on the kids. Some teachers will post instantly to the gradebook. Others will wait a week or 2

HS -
Here they are all actually needed for graduation and very few teachers stress over SOLs. We know they can retake as many times as needed and they barely take any. I’m a HS teacher and post the grade as soon as I get it.

There are many more important things to worry about in HS, like actual grades, finals and AP exams.

Who cares? It’s SOL. It’s not for you or your child or some mark of achievement or failure.

Because it counts towards the final grade in my kids Algebra class. Because it’s required for HS verified credit.

Did you really think someone was going to be working the weekend to load SOL scores into SIS?
