[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had the same question and found this by googling:

Sorry, I posted the wrong link. This one was much more useful: https://p9cdn4static.sharpschool.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server_340140/File/Accountability/Testing/A%20Guide%20to%20Understanding%20the%20Fall%202021%20Virginia%20Growth%20Assessment.pdf[/quote]

There's a vertical scaled scores reading on the DoE site as well: https://www.doe.virginia.gov/testing/sol/parent-resources/fall-2021-vertical-scaled-scores-reading.pdf

The links imply that grade 3 and 4 are tested on grade 3 content, but the paper sitting in front of me says "Tested Curriculum: Grade 2-3". Also, grades 3 & 4 have the same passing scores and supposedly they're using this to suggest who needs extra help, and that's bonkers. If it's truly the same test, it seems impossible to be valid for both 3rd & 4th because a year makes a heck of a difference at these ages.

For what it's worth, my 3rd grader is comfortably in the "needs additional support" range on VGA, despite a ~90th percentile iReady score and being placed in advanced math.
