+### Optimizer.last_score {#last_score tag="property", new="9"}
+
+Get or set the last evaluation score. The optimizer passes this score to the
+learning rate schedule, so that the schedule can take training dynamics into
+account (see e.g. the [`plateau`](/docs/api-schedules#plateau) schedule).
+
+```python
+### Example
+from thinc.api import Optimizer, constant, plateau
+
+schedule = plateau(2, 0.5, constant(1.0))
+optimizer = Optimizer(learn_rate=schedule)
+optimizer.last_score = (1000, 88.34)
+```
