[quote=Anonymous]Last year our son struggled in Algebra 1 but got a pass advanced on the SOL. This year he breezed through geometry but barely passed the SOL. Not sure what that’s about but his teacher said the SOL this year seemed harder than previous years.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The average SOL score for Algebra 1 in 8th grade for the past few years:

2023-2024: Pass Rate was 95%, Passed Advanced rate 21%, Average score 466, Number of students 6,766
2022-2023: Pass Rate was 93%, Passed Advanced rate 23%, Average score 462, Number of students 6,635
2021-2022: Pass Rate was 94%, Passed Advanced rate 22%, Average score 461, Number of students 6,045

I am not sure if 8th graders have to take Algebra 1 H or if they can take Algebra 1. The scores are very different then the 7th grade students. Still a strong pass rate but far fewer kids passing advanced.

My 8th grader is in honors and has been struggling to pass all year.  She’s been going back and forth between a D and an F and will be retaking Algebra 1.  The course seems nothing like when my older kid took it.  She got a 454 on the SOL.  I think the integration of Desmos changed a lot with the SOL and passing numbers but something is still off.  Either the FCPS curriculum is way off or the SOL is way too easy because a D student is getting a solid passing score.  Is this test a valid measure of anything now?
