Some teachers would help students if they raised their hand or would indicate to students whether answers were right or wrong, according to the state report.

Last year, fewer than 150 valid tests were administered at Carver — far below the expectation of 570 tests — as 7 in 10 Carver parents used a state provision that allowed them to opt their children out of the state tests. The state did not make the results of the valid tests available to the public.

This year’s results are a far cry from Carver’s performance in years before the cheating was uncovered.

In 2016-17, for example, 9 in 10 students passed in science; about 4 in 5 passed in math and reading; and 88% passed the state’s history test.

“Carver was overlooked for too long, and it’s past time to set things right,” said Scott Barlow, who represents the school on the Richmond School Board.

In the wake of the report, Richmond Public Schools added a full-time math resource teacher at the school and had central office staff members meet weekly with then-interim Principal Tiawana Giles to figure out what the school needed. Giles has since been hired as the permanent principal.
