Yes. SOL Reading: 579 in 4 grade and 509 in 5 grade.

Similar, but even worse here. 4th grade reading was almost perfect, 5th grade was high pass-proficient. Math also went from something in the 550 range to high 400s!

If your 5th grader is in AAP he was taking 6th grade SOL Math. Last year he toke 4th Grade SOL Math.

Scores all went up in 5th grade year. Yippee!!

Scores went up for us as well. Just a 5 point increase in Reading from 5th to 6th grade, and a 70 point jump in Math!

Do the SOL reports show how many questions were at, below, and above the grade level (the computer adaptive part)? I'm having trouble sorting out how this works.

When kids apply to TJ do they look at SOLs?

The individual scores and descriptions are in your kids documents file.

The link above tells you what was tested in each section.

Will the SOL scores decide if the students continue in AAP level IV/III next year, or they just continue year after year once they are in?

If your DC is officially admitted, then you are in, regardless of test scores, grades, or anything. If your DC is principal placed, then it is a year by year decision.

SOL scores influence Advanced Math and Level III placement at our school. We have a cluster LLIV program so that is unaffected by SOLs.
