Virginia determines new test passing rate |
||
 The Commonwealth of Virginia recently passed the acceptable standard for students' exams, according to WJZ.com. The State Board of Education has decided that for the next four years, the state will adopt an 82 percent pass rate for the Standards of Learning reading test and an 80 percent passing rate for the math portion. However, by the 2013-2014 school year, the new required pass rates for both sections will be set at 100 percent under the No Child Left Behind Act, the source reports. "These are not aspirational goals. These are goals for accountability," Patricia Wright, the state superintendent for public instruction, told the Virginia-Pilot. "Eighty, 82 percent, quite honestly that's ambitious for many of our subgroups." |
