You get a letter in July/aug.

Usually July.

Yeah it is odd. My friends in Loudon already know their scores.

The students eligible for retake scored between 375-399. If your score is lower than 375 or in the passing range, you will receive the score in the summer.

My understanding is that if your child was very close to passing but didn’t, they are offered a quick retake. Meaning they missed maybe 1-2 questions. If they passed or failed by a lot, you don’t find out until later.

What does “scores being normalized” mean?

Does anyone know when the 5th grade SOL results are released?

I know results are out there because kids who scored low had chance for a retake.
