- All the students were 10th-graders at Dacula High School in Georgia
- Officials say someone outside the school had shared answers from language arts, world history and chemistry countywide exams on social media
- Cheaters were given scores of zero and must now retake final exams
Eighty high school sophomores from Georgia had their final exam scores thrown out after it was revealed that they had cheated.
Gwinnett County Schools officials have confirmed that someone had shared on social media answers to final exams in 10th-grade language arts, world history and chemistry.
It is believed that eighty students at Dacula High School – none of them graduating seniors – copied the answers and used them during the tests.
School scandal: Eighty 10th-graders at Dacula High School in Georgia have been caught cheating on their final exams
All the students involved in the incident were given scores of zero and must now retake the finals, reported WSB-TV.
School administrators said ‘a preponderance of evidence’ helped them identify the cheaters.
They suspect that the person who had shared the answers to the countywide exams online is not a student at Daclua.
Dacula senior Jedidiah Adetoye, who was not implicated in the scandal, said other students passed around a scrap of paper, presumably bearing answers to the test questions, and took photos of it, then wrote the correct responses on their hands.
A spokesperson for Gwinnett County Public School Disitrct said the cheaters have been disciplined, but would not get into details.
