I care.  My elementary kid was on the bubble with some positive tests and some negative (failures).  APS kept telling me kid was fine and failures were testing anxiety or not that important.  Kid bombed all SOLs but APS hid that information from me for three months. SOL failure was, for us, straw that broke the camels  back.  Neuropsch eval revealed LDs.  Accommodations and interventions caused significant in child’s testing.   It’s deeply troubling to me that APS conceals this information from parents for months when teachers know immediately.

I too fail to see the downside/reason to share the raw scores immediately. Families make summer plans ahead of time for any remedial self-study or tutoring. What good are these scores in August? These scores are not for VBOE power points, they are first and for most for kids and families. [/quote]

My child had to do one of the SOLs one on one, and was told immediately that she passed. If a family is concerned, maybe they can ask the teacher and school directly? I agree it's awful they don't tell parents that their child failed. Sure, keep the scores private, but if your child failed a test that IMO is pretty basic, the parents deserve to know.  [/quote]

We ask now.  And our ES refuses to provide the scores, fyi.  North Arlington.  [/quote]
