GWEN IFILL: But, first, school districts across the country are going high-tech, incorporating educational apps and digital programs into the classroom.
But fears about the privacy and security of students' personal information are on the rise.
Special correspondent John Tulenko of Education Week reports as a part of our Tuesday night series, Making the Grade.
JOHN TULENKO: Miami, Florida, is taking on one of public education's oldest problems: With so many students, how do you personalize instruction? One answer is with computers.
At Miami's iPrep Academy, one-size-fits-all lessons are a thing of the past.
NICOLE RASMUSON, iPrep Academy: We all started at the very beginning, and then some just took off.
JOHN TULENKO: Nicole Rasmuson teaches math, using innovative software.
NICOLE RASMUSON: It's about 70 percent online. And it's a smart program, and so it checks, are they understanding, are they answering questions correctly right away? Are they struggling? Is it taking them a long time to answer questions? Do they keep making mistakes?
JOHN TULENKO: All the while, the computer is crunching and storing data about the students and sending back customized lessons.
NICOLE RASMUSON: It'll ask them, what are your interests? And so, in the word problems, it'll — if one kid's really interested in food, it'll talk about cookies and that kind of stuff. It'll even ask them, what are your friends' names? And then it'll put their friends' names in the problems, too.
JOHN TULENKO: All that gets uploaded, along with student schedules, grades, discipline records, homework and even e-mails, the makings of what some have called a digital profile, that privacy expert Joel Reidenberg fears could someday be used in unauthorized ways.
JOEL REIDENBERG, Fordham University: We're going to have a lot of data floating around, with a lot of very detailed information that can be quite surprising.
One example: What a child eats in the school cafeteria is collected, using a student I.D. card. We can envision a day, for example, that a health insurance company wants to see what they ate when they were third-graders to decide how they were going to underwrite insurance. Is it farfetched? Could be. We don't know.
JOHN TULENKO: Already, students' data has been misused. Google was recently sued for scanning students' e-mail accounts in order to build advertising profiles. The tech giant has since stopped and pledged, along with 214 other companies, not to use student data for commercial purposes.
But there are a whole lot more companies out there.
SUZETTE LOPEZ, Parent: I'm trying to protect my kids, and there's so much data collection that's going on right now that we we're not even aware of.
JOHN TULENKO: Suzette Lopez is a graphic designer who sends her children to Miami public schools.
SUZETTE LOPEZ: It's these third-party vendors that are what we're partnering with, that we're bringing them in. But then, how much oversight really is there with these partners? Who's keeping an eye on that data?
ALBERTO CARVALHO, Superintendent, Miami-Dade County Public Schools: I think that's absolutely a legitimate concern. But I think responsible school systems that have the appropriate policies and safeguards, quite frankly, reduce that threat.
JOHN TULENKO: To protect personal data, Miami Superintendent Alberto Carvalho requires that teachers and students use a web portal. All the apps and software inside have been vetted, and the companies must sign contracts that prohibit any unauthorized or commercial use of students' information. These rules are strictly enforced.
ALBERTO CARVALHO: I can tell you, the penalties that we apply in Miami when private companies default on their contractual obligation, which is we bar them from future business with the school system.
