Across Virginia, students will be taking Standards of Learning (SOL) tests this spring. Federal and state education departments have decided not to cancel this year’s assessments. In Fairfax County Public Schools, testing for grades 3-8 will be scheduled between April 26, 2021 and June 4, 2021. All SOL tests must be taken in-person at school. SOL tests are not available for remote delivery from home.
