Assessment & Accountability

Assessment & Accountability

According to the Code of Virginia, all students in grades 3-12 in Virginia Public Schools are required to be assessed in certain academic areas. Standards of Learning Assessments are administered to students in May of the academic year.

  • Starting in Fall 2024, ACPS will introduce the Virginia Department of Education’s (VDOE) Virginia Assessment Parent Portal. This portal grants you access to all of your child’s state test results, including Fall Growth Assessments, Winter Growth Assessments, and the Spring Standards of Learning (SOL) tests. This is a valuable opportunity for you to view your child’s results across all tests and monitor their progress from year to year.

    You can use the following link to access the VA Assessment Parent Portal on the VDOE website. Upon creating a free account, you will need to enter your child’s details, including:

    • Your child’s first and last name as listed in school records.
    • Your child’s date of birth.
    • Your child’s unique claim code, obtainable from your child’s building administrator.   Note that these claim codes change with each test administration to ensure your child’s information remains secure.

    Additionally, the VDOE has introduced a new parent report in PDF format, accessible via the Parent Portal alongside the Student Detail By Question (SDBQ) Reports.

    This new report aims to help parents and guardians understand their child’s performance on state assessments throughout the school year, comparing Fall Growth Assessments, Winter Growth Assessments, and Spring Non-Writing SOLs. It includes visual graphs and score explanations to clarify the significance of the numbers and assess your child’s content knowledge. Furthermore, resources are provided to assist families in planning next steps.
