VVAAS Resources for Parents
Student Assessment Summary Reports
VDOE and local school divisions now provide parents access to their child’s SOL test performance history reports. Each Student Assessment Summary provides information about a student's SOL test patterns and may help identify places where additional educational support may be needed or highlight accelerated learning opportunities. This information along with a student’s year-end grades and 2023 SOL test results provides context when engaging with a student’s teachers and school about his/her education.
