On the heals of being ranked one of the Top 100 High Schools in America by US News and World Report, The Preuss School is under more scrutiny now that a newly released audit shows the principal and other employees encouraged teachers to inflate student grades. From KPBS:
University investigators conclude Preuss principal Doris Alvarez and a former school counselor knew full well that a large number of their students were given passing grades even though they were failing, and that students were also given credit for classes they didn't take.
Sign on San Diego is reporting that : In 72 percent of cases, grade changes improved a student's academic standing. In the remainder of cases, the inaccuracies had a negative or no impact, leaving officials to believe some changes may have been made because of human error or confusion over the school's grading software programs.
