the students were 'coached'

It was even more blatent cheating.
Sometimes they were coached during the test,

but usually there were administative tricks, for example most students are registered in school using their parent's social security number, but the administrators would give practice tests and for those students who did poorly they would apply for a new, personal social security number. The results didn't count for the school when the number changed. It was a scam based on some part of a provision to make schools not have to account for students who recently transfer. This eliminated a lot of low scores from the school's overall score.

Texas under Bush also eliminated drop-outs from their statistical reporting, thereby making the system look a lot better than it was.
