Inspector general confirms cheating at D.C. elementary school

The D.C. inspector general confirmed cheating by teachers on the 2010 standardized tests at Noyes Education Campus, but found no evidence of widespread cheating across the school system, according to a report released Wednesday.

The question remains exactly how widespread cheating was in the Ward 5 school. Teachers offered investigators conflicting accounts of how high up the decision was made to help students improve their scores; monitors say former Principal Wayne Ryan prohibited them from entering classrooms to observe testing, which Ryan denies.
