The state is going to complete its investigation of Dougherty County school, too.

This is the main Albany, Georgia system down in the southwest corner of the state.

It's interesting to read the full comments because they mention equal protection and concerns about seeming to single out Atlanta.

This supports the idea that there's cheating all over.

This lets one see how different different school systems are in terms of the numbers of classrooms flagged.

And this, if you are super nerdy, would allow you to look at the demographics of the test takers in all the districts.

Only looking at a couple of districts, it looks like there's more cheating in districts with more poor kids, which I think most people might expect because there'd be a perception that the kids started out behind so teachers would be panicky*. But I don't think you see too many whole systems, even with a lot of poor schools, with high rates of flagged classroom. *I think people would expect to see the same about cheating all over if having really high scores mattered to the test takers but all that matters with the CRCT is passing.
