Data Requests

The Indiana Department of Education supports a data request process to provide the public with data that may not be available on the sites above. Interested parties may request access to data here. There are 3 forms that can be used to submit a data request at this link:

  • IDOE Internal Staff Data Request (for IDOE staff only)
  • Aggregate Data Request
  • Student/Educator-Level Research Data Request

All data requests must be submitted through this link. IDOE will review each request to determine if the request can be fulfilled based on the information provided in the request. Please note that fulfillment or denial of data requests will align with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (read more about this act below). Any requests for student/educator level data go through additional layers of review and will require a data sharing agreement to be signed in order to fully protect the data.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. §1232g, 34 C.F.R. Part 99 permits, but does not require, the disclosure of student level data to organizations conducting studies for, or on behalf of, educational agencies or institutions to:
(A) Develop, validate, or administer predictive tests;
(B) Administer student aid programs; or
(C) Improve instruction.

Any organization conducting a study for, or on behalf of, an educational agency or institution that desires to use student-level data obtained from the Indiana Department of Education must agree to abide by the requirements of FERPA. Failure to comply with the requirements of FERPA may result in a complaint filed with the U.S. Department of Education’s Family Policy Compliance Office (FPCPO) and additional sanctions, including, but not limited to, the denial of future data requests.
