SOL Scores

In the Commonwealth of Virginia, all Elementary and Middle School students are required to take a Standard of Learning (SOL) test in subjects that vary by grade. These scores are used by the school to measure their overall performance and are factored into individual school awards.

Spring 2008 scores:

Austin
Test Score Performance
Civics/Economics 548 Pass Advanced
Math 442 Pass Proficient
Reading 549 Pass Advanced


Kara
Test Score Performance
History/Social Science
600 Pass Advanced
Math 570 Pass Advanced
Reading 592 Pass Advanced


The scores reveal a few things about the kids. The overall performance is more than satisfactory as all but one of the scores is in the advanced range. Austin's turnaround in his grade performance can also be seen in his scores. Kudos to Austin for all of his hard work this past year. Kara's overall performance on the SOL was spectacular, anchored by a perfect score in History. Congratulations to the both of them.
