What information can parents access regarding their child once the student has reached the age of 18?

When a student reaches the age of 18, they are legally considered an adult and gain the right to control their own educational records. This includes the ability to grant or deny access to their educational materials. Under laws such as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), parents are no longer automatically entitled to access their child's education records without the student's consent.

This means that parents can access all educational records if the student provides explicit permission. The scope of this access encompasses not only educational progress reports but also any other educational records containing personally identifiable information about the student. Therefore, the correct answer reflects the legal shift that occurs when a student turns 18, emphasizing the importance of student consent in granting parental access to educational records.
