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 found in spring 2026, directing the state testing vendor to conduct a comprehensive review to identify if issues occurred at other buildings across the state.
- George Hays-Jennie Porter School is one of 52 schools statewide named by ODEW for testing data review, based on statistical anomalies identified during the statewide analysis rather than allegations of educator misconduct.
- For Hays-Porter, ODEW is reviewing 38 of the 256 tests administered during spring 2026, while Cincinnati Public Schools—which operates 66 elementary and high schools—has requested clarity from the state regarding its findings.
- Earlier this summer, Columbus City Schools reported irregularities at two high school buildings, invalidating spring test results and prompting the broader statewide review; CPS confirmed it will fully cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
- Ohio officials continue monitoring results across all districts, including the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, as the investigation includes a comprehensive vendor review to determine whether additional testing issues exist statewide.
