If your child used Naviance (PowerSchool's college-and-career tool) at any US middle or high school, you and your child may qualify. One form. Email only. No phone calls. The administrator mails the check.
Naviance is the college-planning tool that thousands of US public and private schools deploy in middle and high school grade-tracking, course selection, scholarship matching, and college research. The class action alleged PowerSchool tracked student usage beyond what was disclosed to schools and parents, including tracking that persisted after students stopped using the platform. PowerSchool settled for $17.25M without admitting wrongdoing.
Important: This is the Naviance privacy settlement (PowerSchool + Chicago Public Schools, $17.25M). It is separate from the much larger December 2024 PowerSchool data breach (62.4M student records), which is its own consolidated MDL.
The $17.25M settlement covers students whose privacy was violated by Naviance tracking. The eligibility check above confirms whether your child's school district is included.
A modest per-person payment from a $17.25M fund, divided across all affected students. The exact per-claimant amount depends on the final claimant count.
| Diagnosis or claim type | Projected payout range | What drives the tier |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline per-student payment | $10 to $50 | Estimated per-claimant amount. Final amount depends on the number of valid claims filed and the administrator's distribution formula. |
| Settlement fund total | $17.25 million | Combined contribution from PowerSchool and Chicago Public Schools as part of the settlement. |
| Documentation requirement | None for baseline | No proof of harm is required for the baseline per-student payment. School-district records and a parent attestation are typically sufficient. |
Per-claimant amounts are estimates. The official settlement administrator publishes the final formula after the claim window closes. This LP does not cover the much larger December 2024 PowerSchool data breach; if your concern is that breach (affecting 62.4 million student records), search for the PowerSchool 2024 breach MDL.
Naviance is the college-planning portal used in thousands of US middle and high schools for course selection, scholarship matching, and college research. Ask your child or check with their school counselor whether the platform was deployed in grades 6-12.

claimscout is not a law firm and is not the settlement administrator. We route parents to the official sources and help distinguish this $17.25M Naviance settlement from the separate (much larger) December 2024 PowerSchool data breach.
claimscout is not affiliated with PowerSchool, Naviance, Chicago Public Schools, the settlement administrator, or any party to the litigation. We provide informational matching only.
This is a one-form claim. Your email, your kid's name, the school they attended. The administrator handles the rest and mails the check. No phone calls — we collect email only on this page.
Two different matters. This $17.25M settlement is about Naviance (a college-planning portal owned by PowerSchool since 2021) tracking student usage beyond disclosed limits. The December 2024 breach is a separate hacking incident where attackers stole personal data of 62.4 million students and 9.5 million teachers from PowerSchool's systems. That breach is in its own consolidated MDL with its own (much higher) potential damages.
Ask your child's school counselor, or check the school's college-planning resources. Naviance is widely deployed in U.S. middle and high schools for course selection, scholarship matching, and college research. The settlement site publishes the list of participating districts.
Plaintiffs alleged Naviance tracked student usage in ways that went beyond what schools and parents were told, including tracking that persisted after students stopped using the platform.
Chicago Public Schools is a named co-defendant in this settlement alongside PowerSchool. The case originated in part from CPS's deployment of Naviance and the related parent and student notice.
No. This LP collects email only, intentionally. Parents are wary of intake calls about their kid, and the settlement does not require phone contact for the claim form.
Estimated $10 to $50 per student. The actual amount depends on how many valid claims are filed against the $17.25M fund.
Past use still qualifies. The class definition covers students whose schools deployed Naviance during the tracking period; current enrollment is not required.
That is a separate matter, not covered by this $17.25M settlement. The Dec 2024 breach (62.4M student records) has its own consolidated MDL with separate claim processes. Search for the PowerSchool 2024 breach class action to find the right resource.
No. The official settlement administrator handles claim filings. claimscout is an informational matching service that helps parents distinguish this matter from the separate Dec 2024 PowerSchool breach.
