[quote=Anonymous]One thing many parents don’t realize is that in Fairfax County, the 8th-grade science SOL only matters for school statistics than for the individual student. The state uses the pass rate for school accountability ratings, which is why schools (typically) push students to take it seriously. OP, if you child happens to fail the SOL, I would not have him/her particpate in the post-SOL cram sessions that schools do for the retake. Theses sessions are rough on the kids, do not lead to actual learning and function only because FCPS knows statistically that there will be a certain percentage of that will pass on the retake and increase the school's rating. In high school, stay locked in to what is happening in the classroom. Hire a tutor as soon as you get wind of this issue or if your child is in a class with a dud teacher. [/quote]
