When department staff arrived at ISE unannounced several days before the math exam last year, they discovered the test materials had been removed from their protective shrink wrap, a contravention of strict rules aimed at ensuring school staff don’t give students access to exams in advance.
When they returned to watch the test being administered, they found more irregularities. Students had cellphones and bags near their desks and were carrying calculators that had not been cleared of data and math formulas.

The issues were corrected. After the tests were written and scored this time, only one of the 11 students had managed to pass the exam. The discrepancy between the school and exam grades was 32.4 percentage points, exceptionally high when compared with most other Alberta schools but in keeping with the past performance of ISE students.
