[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP and I am also a teacher but not teaching this year. I've never had experience with a standardized test that doesn't give a percentile score. I don't think it's strange. My child passed but did not score as high as I was expecting. The benchmark is 400, I got that. But I think it would be helpful to know if the average score was 410 or 490, etc.
I'd like to know the distribution of scores so I can see if certain years are more difficult than others, and that explains the lesser score.  I'm not competing with anyone, just trying to get a feel for how my child performed relative to his peer group. Thanks.[/quote]

These are reasonable expectations for any parent.  In fact, all parents should be looking at / asking for the same information.  Since the SOLs are not set up to show growth from year to year  it is especially important to look at each year and compare where your child is relative to the class, school, district and state.  This helps parents know if their child is making progress, maintaining place or falling behind relative to the age group.[/quote]
