FILE - In a July 13, 2011 file photo, students at Emma Hutchinson School in Atlanta leave after the day's classes.  Hutchinson has been identified as one of forty four schools involved in a test cheating scandal.   A new state report reveals how far some Atlanta public schools went to raise test scores in the nation’s largest-ever cheating scandal.  The scandal first came to light two years ago. Now, investigators have concluded that nearly half the city’s schools allowed cheating to go unchecked for as long as a decade, beginning in 2001.

At another school, struggling students were seated next to higher-performing classmates so they could copy answers.
