Virginia Standards of Learning Assessment Program Information:

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) has created the Virginia Assessment Program to help measure students’ academic progress in the Standards of Learning (SOLs). The SOLs indicate the Commonwealth of Virginia’s expectations for what students should know and be able to do in the subject areas of reading, writing, mathematics, science, and history/social science. Copies of the SOLs are available online at the VDOE website

Each year, students at various grade levels are expected to participate in SOL testing or alternative assessments unless specifically exempted by state or federal law, or by Virginia Board of Education regulations. In grades 3-8, most students will participate in some type of SOL testing or assessment annually.  Some SOL tests, like the Integrated Reading and Writing test, are only given to students in grades 5 and 8. 

Once testing is complete, information about your student’s performance will be shared with you. For more information about general testing windows in PWCS, please visit the Testing & Accountability Website.

Expedited Retake Schedule-BTMS

Students are receiving their SOL scores from the teacher associated with that SOL. Students who do not pass (score below a 400), and their score is between 375-399, may have the opportunity to retake their SOL. They can only retake the SOL if a parent/guardian has completed this form: https://forms.office.com/r/Sar0aQR0yv

Please reach out to your child's teacher with any questions about SOL retakes. Many teachers are offering remediation (during school and/or afterschool) to help students review before the SOL retake.
