[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My minority kids fail SOL's in a high achieving school- and we always get a fair amount of pressure to retake (b/c the failure really pulls down the passing percentages) and I always say no.  There is zero advantage to the child to retake an elementary SOL.  The failure can help them get additional services and support.[/quote]

NEVER EVER EVER have your child who has failed an SOL retake it.  FCPS is trying to push kids along. If your child has failed an SOL, that is data that they need additional help.

I would hire a tutor for next year and ask FCPS to pay for it.  They are paying for all sorts fo things for parents right now who are pushy.  [/quote]

They have to fail multiple years before the school will think about doing anything - and they won’t consider it unless progress reports, iReady, and VGA are also low. [/quote]
No kid gets mostly 4s on report cards. Past years passed Advanced on SOLs.  Haven’t heard about reading and math this year but school hasn’t said anything just science. [/quote]

I’ve taught ES in FCPS for over a decade. I have many, many kids that get mostly 4s in their progress reports. If they get all the questions right (or 1 wrong) on a quiz/test, that’s a 4. [/quote]
