"He's now going to be the valedictorian." "I think he was probably third in line," Smith said.

With a zero on the exam, Andrew Cornwell earned a B in the class, Smith said, and his chances of having the highest grade-point average at BGA "are over." She said the honor code offense could also "hurt his chances of getting into (the University of North Carolina) and getting a scholarship."Īndrew Cornwell claims that another senior who also was in the running for valedictorian told on the students who looked at the downloaded question and documents. They received a zero on the question, were assessed 20 demerits and have been placed on "probation." School officials and BGA's student-run Honor Council determined that this gave the AP students an unfair advantage. "He did not think there was anything wrong with looking at it," said Janna Eaton Smith, the attorney for Andrew Cornwell and his mother, Cathy. The question, and documents that go along with it, were found at a classical studies Web site from an out-of-state high school. Michael "Andrew" Cornwell had a strong chance at being BGA's 2006 valedictorian until officials at the Franklin school accused him of "gaining an unfair advantage" in preparing for an essay exam.Ĭornwell and three other students in an Advanced Placement class viewed a document-based essay question hours before an exam. The mother of a Battle Ground Academy senior filed a lawsuit against the private school last week in hopes that a judge will force school officials to reverse their decision to charge her son with an honor code offense.
