OK, the class is high school physics. I took my physics midterm today, and my teacher accused me on cheating on it only because i got a 100% and finished it in 30 minutes. My fellow classmates took up to 2 hours and didnt make such a high grade. I am top of my class, and have absolutely no trouble in physics. I have A's in all other physics assignments. The teacher called my parents, alerted administration, and is making me retake the test. I honestly did not cheat, i just need to know whether she has the authority to make me retake a test based purely off of her suspicion; there was no other evidence that i cheated, other than i finished much sooner then my classmates and made a 100 A. I don't really mind retaking it, but i think this is just a principle matter
 
yes.

it is entirely the instructors call. evidence is not needed. its not a district assessment, or a standardized test. It is a test she made to determine your learning.

her class, her rules. You can appeal to your principal, but you will not get far.

retake it in front of her, but this time go for speed. Finish in 20 minutes - you will get an apology.
 
If based on your statement, don't retake the test. I am not there, to judge your teacher why he/she accused you of cheating. Maybe this is the first time a students got a perfect score in the test.
If the test so very very easy, you probably get a perfect score.
If you really a very good student, there is no problem in taking the retake, just to prove your innocence.
