[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the policy in elementary is that they only notify parents right away if the child almost passes, so they can do a retake.  I agree that it’s a poor policy, though. [/quote]

Ok, so do most elementary schools actually do that or do they nevertheless notify families upon failure?  Did anyone’s classroom teacher/principal reach out to them?  Or is everyone like us and just uncovered it on Parentvue?[/quote]

I am pretty surrounded most elementary schools inform parents of your kid is just under the pass rate because the school wants to give them an opportunity to retake the test so the overall pass rate for the school winds up higher.

They don't inform if they don't think you can retake and pass. That is because ES sees the SOL (rightly or wrongly) as largely a reflection of teaching vs the students abilities.

It’s one data point.
