The Virginia Board of Education allows middle school students who fail Standards of Learning (SOL)tests by a narrow margin to retake the test before the end of the school year. Retesting is available when a student fails their first attempt with a score of 375-399 (where 400 is passing).
Parent permission is required for any retests in grades 3-8 and End of Course math (Algebra 1, Geometry & Algebra 2). If you believe that your student would benefit from a
second opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills on the SOL test, please complete this permission form to let us know if you want your child to retest or not. A decision not to allow retesting will not impact your student’s course grade or
academic record.
