If it keeps them from losing an elective in middle school or high school due to needing a remediation class, they should retake the SOL. If they actually need the help, they should take the class of course.

No one is forced to take a remediation class regardless of SAT score. There is no difference in the reading ability between a kid who scores 399 and a kid who scores 425.

IME, it varies more by grade level. HS students are told their scores quickly. ES student scores are held longer.

Our years of experience has been to wait for weeks and weeks until after the school year ends. They wanted to handle any and all retakes before they released any scores to the students or parents. Same thing with other standardized tests, such as IReady, the families are left in the dark for months at a time about results. By the time you found out one result, they were taking the next IReady.

Who cares? It’s SOL. It’s not for you or your child or some mark of achievement or failure.

what? Of course, it’s some type of achievement. It is for the student and family to know. It’s their education.

It seems school dependent? My kid took an SOL last week on Tues and no score yet.

My kid took the ELA SOL on Tuesday and found out the score yesterday. That doesn't seem like hoarding at all.

was it posted on SIS?

Last year they came the Monday following the test for elementary schools. So, I am guessing the schools know the results already to reach out to parents to schedule retakes

You have to pass to graduate so I care for my high school kids.

My child struggled in math in elementary school and we did not do retakes after the first year ( when the score went down because of stress ).

It baffles me that anyone would agree for their kid to retake when there is no benefit to the kid.

They hoard the scores. Only the retake kids get a phone call right away asking for retakes. Then they keep holding the scores for weeks and weeks.
