SOL Testing Information
SOL Overview
Students in grades 3-6 participate in Virginia's Standard of Learning (SOL) Assessments each year as part of the Virginia Assessment Program. These tests measure how well students have mastered specific academic standards in reading, writing, mathematics, and science. The results provide valuable information to both the state and to Woodburn, helping to assess student performance and track growth over time.
Student scores will be available in ParentVUE before the end of the school year.
