SOL Algebra Readiness is a grant from the Virginia Department of Education that funds remediation and readiness programs helping students achieve algebra proficiency as measured by Virginia's Standards of Learning assessments. The program supports schools and local education agencies in developing targeted instructional interventions to close learning gaps in foundational math skills needed for algebra success.

Eligible applicants are Virginia public school divisions and partner organizations working to improve student performance in middle and high school mathematics. The initiative focuses on evidence-based strategies that accelerate student progress and improve algebra readiness outcomes across the Commonwealth.

Algebra 1 end-of-course test, as demonstrated by their individual performance on any diagnostic test that has been approved by the Department of Education.

The ARI consists of two major components: 1. a diagnostic assessment designed to guide instructional decisions for students that may need intervention services; and 2. targeted intervention services for students.
