Sounds like it's school dependent. I teach at a title I school. We're just looking for them to pass almost no one ever gets a 600... Or above 500.

A dime a dozen. Happened to my kids several times and really doesn’t matter vs a550 for anything.

I taught 8th grade algebra for 10 years. Around 2% of kids would get a perfect score, and another 10% would miss 1 or 2 questions (which drops the score to the mid 500s).

The reading test regularly had higher scores. The civics test back when it was offered saw tons of 600s.

I'm simply curious if this is typical or an anomaly. I had no idea what to expect.

FWIW, we have been provided scores. Why is that a big deal?


It's not super common. I often see scores in the mid to high 500s, but only a handful (or less) of 600s. (4th grade teacher)

My oldest took SOLs in third and 4th grade so far and each year got a perfect score on one of them. I think it is fairly but not super common.
