The Georgia Department of Education released official results from their investigation into cheating on the state 2009 Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT).
Public school students in grades 1-8 are required to take the CRCT in reading, English and math. Students in grades 3-8 also take science and social studies exams.
The investigation scanned all test takers’ answer documents to detect erasures, flagging classrooms with wrong-to-right changes that fell above the state average.
The following schools fell on the state’s severe list, meaning 25% or more of the school’s classrooms were flagged with wrong-to-right changes that fell well above the state average.
