How each local school system did on 2018-19 Virginia SOLs

Falls Church City Public Schools students were more likely than kids in any other Northern Virginia jurisdiction to pass Standards of Learning tests this year, according to new state data.

The overall pass rates are simply about meeting minimum requirements, and they continue to show significant economic and racial achievement gaps, even in high-performing school systems.

In Fairfax County, for example, while 93% of white students passed history and social sciences tests, 76% of black and 69% of Hispanic students passed.

In Alexandria, only 55% of students coming from low-income homes passed English reading tests.

State officials are suggesting additional reading support in many elementary schools to help kids meet key reading goals by third grade.
