Virginia's Third Grade Reading and Math SOL Rates

Below we show the percent of third grade students achieving reading and math proficiency based on SOL assessments. As detailed in an Annie E. Casey report, third grade reading is a critical educational milestone marking a transition from "learning to read" to "reading to learn" and low proficiency by the end of third grade has a detrimental impact on a child's future.

Proficiency rates are shown below by school division and for Virginia students overall for the years 2013-2022. In 2013, VDOE adopted revised standards and other changes to the SOLs making results not directly comparable to those from prior years.
