What PowerSchool won’t say about its data breach affecting millions of students


New details have emerged about PowerSchool's data breach — but here's what PowerSchool still isn't saying.

PowerSchool, which provides K-12 software to more than 18,000 schools to support some 60 million students across North America, first disclosed the data breach in early January 2025. PowerSchool spokesperson Beth Keebler declined to answer our questions, saying that all updates related to the breach would be posted on the company’s incident page. Marc Racine, chief executive of the Boston-based education technology consulting firm RootED Solutions, told TechCrunch that while the report provides “some detail,” there is not enough information to “understand what went wrong.”
