The Virginia Board of Education requires that students take Standards of Learning (SOL) assessments in reading, mathematics, and history and social sciences in Grades 6, 7, and 8. Students in Grade 8 also test in writing and science. Students enrolled in Algebra or Geometry, or World Geography will take the SOL end-of-course test in that subject. The SOL tests are criterion-referenced tests designed to match Virginia’s SOLs.
All high school students will be required to pass a minimum of five high school End-of-Course (EOC) tests to qualify for a diploma. For more detail, please see the Graduation Requirements located at the end of this document and speak to your student’s counselor.
Assessment Results
Results from tests taken by students will be mailed to parents or shared in the ParentVUE Portal after each test administration period. Overall results for schools and Arlington will be posted on the APS web site at http://www.apsva.us.
