Virginia Standards of Learning
The Virginia Department of Education has adopted statewide standards for educational progress call Standards of Learning (SOL's). In 3rd, 5th, and 8th - 11th grades, all Virginia school children take subject specific SOL tests to verify they have achieved appropriate knowledge and skill levels. Percentage of students passing the SOL allows a school-by-school comparison as one indication of how proficient individual schools are at teaching this essential material. While many factors can influence SOL scores, the trend over a number of years is an excellent indicator of a specific school's or school district's dedication to improving their student's academic performance. The following link allows you to compare and contrast school and school district SOL performance.
