[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The scores are up. Does anyone know how to determine percentiles?

There is a Reston-based entrepreneur who must have FOIA'd the full set of SOL statistics, computed the percentiles and is offering them for sale one score at a time if you subscribe to their service: https://www.peerpowerinc.com/   I haven't used their service so can't comment on whether or how well it works, but I thought I share this pointer.

Except the score distributions (how many students got a particular score) change (and can change significantly) year to year.  You can look at the SOL score distribution by fail/pass/pass advanced for previous years across the state, by school system, by individual school using this tool:  https://p1pe.doe.virginia.gov/apex_captcha/home.do?apexTypeId=306.   If you run historical data, you will see that the % of students at each level changes.[/quote]
There can be yearly variations in SOL pass rates due to technical changes in tests and scoring. Examples include: 1) SOLs are revised every seven years; 2) elementary and middle school re-takes began in 2014-15; 3) cut scores were lowered in 2019 for math and 2021 for english. [/quote]
