RENTON, Wash. – The parents of a high school student are suing Washington state’s Renton School District, seeking to overturn a failing chemistry test grade.

According to documents filed in King County Superior Court, the Lindbergh High School student sued the district after a disciplinary committee decided not to alter the failing grade, Q13 Fox reports.

The student is not seeking any damages, according to the suit, but is simply asking that the school overturn the “F”  test grade she received last school year.

She fears the grade could hamper her chances of college acceptance.

The parents of the unnamed student allege the girl was never caught cheating, but simply found with study materials in her bag.

According to the Seattle Post Intelligencer, the girl was given a failing grade after the teacher “assumed” she was using a “crib sheet” when she was found carrying notes and a pencil pouch in her purse that was easily accessible during the test.

In addition to the grade, she was to serve a day in detention this school year.

The student appealed the punishment to the school principal and ultimately the school board.

After a meeting between all parties, the school board upheld the failing grade but canceled the detention day.

“After careful review, the council finds that the final grade submitted by the teacher, with the reduction for the academic infraction, is upheld by a preponderance of the evidence submitted,” board member Al Talley wrote in the Sept. 23 decision, according to the paper.

“That’s the only reason she’s filing the lawsuit,” Greg McBroom, the student’s attorney, says.

“She’s never had any problems with the school. No disciplinary record. Nothing.”

Students can’t appeal grades they don’t like to the school board, according to district spokesman Randy Matheson.

“We trust our teachers to dole out the grade based on a student’s work, and if there’s a challenge to that it happens at the school level,” he tells the paper.
