The Standards of Learning (SOL) outline what students in Virginia Public Schools are expected to learn in subjects like English, math, science, history, and more from grades K-12. These standards reflect input from parents, teachers, school leaders, and community members across Virginia about what should be taught in schools.
Each year, depending upon their grade level, students take assessments such as SOL tests to measure their progress. These test results help schools understand how well students are learning and guide improvements in teaching. They also provide important data that impacts school ratings and helps ensure schools are meeting state and federal requirements.
