SOL Testing occurs throughout the school year for students who need to earn verified credits for their diploma. The spring testing window in May is when all students enrolled in an SOL course will test for either a verified credit and/or for federal accountability. Rock Ridge HS will administer these SOLs on Monday, May 19, 2025 and Tuesday, May 20, 2025. A modified bell schedule will be followed and will be linked here closer to these dates.

Seniors who need to test for a verified credit will be contacted regularly by their counselor, teacher(s), and Mrs. Blessing for testing opportunities. Students who would like extra resources for these tests may use the Schoology course with this join code for extra practice. RKH2-V7FW-3NJMF

MAP Assessments are given to all students enrolled in Algebra 1 and Geometry. At RRHS, the assessment is administered during class time within the following three test windows:

• Fall: August 26 - September 17, 2024

• Winter: January 8 - January 31, 2025

• Spring: April 8 - May 2, 2025

MAP results are used by teachers to assist students in setting growth goals, differentiate instruction based on student strengths/needs, and monitor student progress throughout the year. Building administrators use results to identify the knowledge and skill levels of students in a classroom or grade and plan for professional development based on patterns in instructional strengths and needs. MAP results are used by central office staff to identify program strengths and needs and to assess the implementation and impact of LCPS initiatives. 

For more information please use the LCPS OAS Website, or contact our Math Department Chair Megan Berger.
