[quote=Anonymous]The person who said you can opt out of SOLs and graduate with honors, etc, is not correct, or at the very least leaving out A LOT of variables and information

In high school your must have 5 verified credits to graduate with advanced or standard diplomas unless you transferred from out of VA public schools at a certain time.  These are earned either by passing the SOLs or by a substitute test approved by VDOE

You can refuse an SOL, but that refusal does not change the graduation requirements of needing verified credits... so you can refuse, but won't be able to graduate

Students with IEPs can get some different permissions based on some other diploma types... Standard diploma with Credit Accommodations allows you to get the verified credits with a score of 375 or higher on the SOL. It still counts as failing, but it can count for the verified credit.  This doesn't apply to every kid with and IEP - you have to have it in the IEP and be getting that diploma type.

If an IEP student still cannot get to 375, there is a special permission process to get VDOE to approve the verified credit with a score lower than 375 - but it requires a lot of justification and data.

So, it is possible for the SWD to graduate without passing an SOL, but it's not as simple as "students with disabilities just all pass without taking SOLs".  [/quote]
