VDOE debuts new Spring SOL Parent Report

“An involved and informed parent is critical to a student’s success," said Superintendent of Public Instruction Lisa Coons. "We want to empower parents with clear and useful information about their child’s performance this year and equip them with tools to help their child catch up or get ahead over the summer."

The reports include information on academic progress, with bar graphs and simple performance descriptions for each question type. The Spring SOL Parent Report informs parents if their child’s test scores show that the child needs additional support, is considered at-risk of falling behind, or if the child is performing on grade level or above.

“The inclusion of easy-to-read bar graphs and simple performance descriptions for each question type transforms the SOL Parent Report into a helpful tool that can be used by students, parents, and teachers to target areas for new instruction," said Virginia PTA President Jenna Alexander.
