State Orders Deeper Investigation Into Test Score Anomalies
State officials are reviewing 52 school buildings after Columbus City Schools self-reported irregularities and some spring 2026 test results were invalidated.
- The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce is expanding its investigation into testing anomalies identified during a statewide review of spring 2026 state test scores, directing the testing vendor to conduct a comprehensive review across school buildings.
- George Hays-Jennie Porter School is among 52 schools statewide identified by ODEW for data review, with identification based on statistical anomalies rather than allegations of educator misconduct.
- For Hays-Porter, ODEW is reviewing 38 of 256 tests administered during spring 2026, while Cincinnati Public Schools—which operates 66 schools—has requested clarity on the state's methodology and findings.
- In July, Columbus City Schools reported irregularities at two high schools, invalidating spring test results and prompting the statewide review; CPS confirmed it will fully cooperate with ODEW's investigation.
- Ohio officials continue monitoring results across all districts, including the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, as the comprehensive vendor review aims to determine whether additional testing issues exist statewide.
