[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was is your point, OP? My child has a 100% in English and got a 430 on her reading SOL. She is dyslexic, reading is challenging, but she's super smart and a hard worker. We don't measure our children's worth in SOL scores.[/quote]

I am the OP.
My point is there is disconnection between SOL score and class score.[/quote]

Hey OP, how does your child do on "standardized" tests in general? Did they sleep well that night? Did they have a bad day? Noisy kid besides them in the testing room?

Dial it down. It's an SOL AND it's 7th grade. Your kid passed, and that's really all that matters. I'm telling you now, PLEASE don't put so much stock in an SOL score. Just don't. Focus (in a few years) on stuff like the SAT and ACT - that matters more. [/quote]

Good advice here, OP! I’ll add to save this stress for AP exams. And then keep it to yourself. The kids put enough stress on themselves in HS for AP exams, SAT and ACTs. Or IB tests if you are at an IB school.

Really, SOLs don’t matter and they really don’t at all before HS.  Even in HS they only need to pass them.  [/quote]
