The English <strong>SOL</strong> tests students took during 2012-13 were the first to reflect the increased rigor of the<br />

revised standards adopted by the Board of Education in 2010. Last year also marked the debut of online<br />

<strong>SOL</strong> writing tests, pass rates on the new tests were lower than in 2011-12. Literacy instruction was a<br />

strong focus at the elementary level in <strong>Fluvanna</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>Public</strong> Schools. Because of the change in tests,<br />

it is difficult to compare scores to the previous year’s data. <strong>Fluvanna</strong> surpassed the state averages in six<br />

of the 10 areas tested.<br />

Third Grade pass rates surpassed the state average by five percentage points and ranked 30 out<br />

of 132 school divisions compared with being ranked 65 the previous year.<br />

Fourth Grade pass rates surpassed the state average by three percentage points and ranked 43<br />

out of 132 school divisions compared with a rank of 82 in 2012-13.<br />

fourth.<br />

eighteenth respectively.<br />
