Data Security and Student Privacy

Data that is stored within SchoolStatus never leaves the U.S. and is never available to other companies. When a user logs into our platform, we set a user's scope to allow access on a primary level to, and only to, their district's data as delineated by their 128-bit identifier. Access to our servers requires a secure VPM client and ssh keys.
