In talking with some of the teachers, there seems to be a lack of classroom observations. I like to see more sudent body assemblies. For example National Honor Society and Award programs of this magnatude need to be for the entire student body. It fosters student pride and can be aspiring to other students. It allows the other students and staff to see the achievements of all students.

About the tests

In 2011-2012 Virginia used the Standards of Learning (SOL) End-of-Course tests to assess students in reading, writing, math, science and history/social science subjects at the end of each course, regardless of the student's grade level. The SOL End-of-Course tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Virginia. High school students must pass at least six SOL End-of-Course tests to graduate. The goal is for all students to pass the tests.
