Way too early. State hasn't released them yet. Not until August/September.
That's the timeline. Not because of Covid. That's just the usual timeline. |

| They are available. Not pretty. |

Good I hope they see what a failure virtual learning was. |

I don’t think so. Where are they available? |

I don’t give a rat’s a$$ if my kids passed or failed the SOLs. The kids and the teachers did the best they could, and it was better than CoVID. |

No they aren’t. As stated above the state releases them in late summer/early fall. |

I don't care if they pass, but still curious how they scored. |

Teachers and administrators have seen them. Math scores were in the math placement letters for kids moving to MS. If that score is any indication, it’s going to be a bloodbath. Formerly perfect math score but barely passed (maybe didn’t, not sure what the cutoff is) this year. I don’t care. It wasn’t my kid’s fault. We didn’t tutor or push because we were barely surviving, but it’s clear that they weren’t able to teach what they normally would have. We’ll probably need a tutor now that we know there are large gaps. |

If that's true, tell us where to find them. |

| I’m an elementary APS teacher. Our students performed pretty much as we expected in a normal year. Which is to say, higher SES kids passed as always, lower SES kids had more struggles, and more variability in students with IEP’s depending on the individual. We didn’t see big drops as a whole. |

| The official DOE score reports that are mailed to parents don't come out for a few more weeks. In 2018 they came out at the end of July, and in 2019 they came out in early August. However, PP is correct that APS must have the scores because the math SOL score was inserted into the math placement letter for all rising middle school students. I have a rising 7th grader, and have heard a lot of parents saying that their kid's 6th grade math SOL score was significantly below the SOL score that they got on the 3rd and 4th grade math SOL. (There was no 5th grade SOL for this grade due to COVID.) If that's true for the 5th, 6th, and 7th grade math SOL scores, then it is probably true for other SOL subjects/grades too. Maybe that's why Duran pivoted in the last board meeting to saying that we need to stop talking about "learning loss" and instead talk about what kids did learn this year. (Direct quote.) He's trying to change the conversation before the scores come out to parents. |

| HS kids were told their SOL scores if they asked the week of the tests. My 9th grader scored shockingly low on biology and shockingly high on geometry. |
