Dive Brief:
- A new report finds that more states are expanding how they use student and school data.
- Increasingly, teachers can access data on students’ performance to adjust how they teach, and parents can see how their children are doing, the Data Quality Campaign finds.
- The phenomenon is causing concerns about student privacy to rise.
Dive Insight:

That means privacy is going to be an even bigger concern. Already, one student data company, InBloom, has faced a privacy backlash.
