Standards of Learning
By emphasizing the SOLs throughout the Instructional process, the York County
School Division provides its students with a sound instructional program and
prepares them for state-mandated SOL testing that occurs in the spring. SOL
tests are un-timed.
In middle school, students take the following SOL tests: English (Reading &
Writing), History/Social Science, Math, Science, and Computer/Technology.
End-of-Course SOL tests are given to students enrolled in the following subjects
taken for high school credit: English [Reading/Literature-Research & Writing
(2 tests given in Grade 11 cover English 9-11 SOLs)], Algebra I, Algebra II,
Geometry, World History to 1000 A.D. to the Present & World Geography, U.S.
History, Earth Science, Biology, and Chemistry.
Students are required to earn a certain number of Verified Credits to be eligible
for a Standard or Advanced Studies high school diploma. Verified Credits for
graduation are based on the achievement by the student of a passing score on
the required End-of-Course SOL tests.
