My DC's schools are the same way about test scores - drives me bonkers! Actually, under FERPA, you have a right to access your DC's academic records. I'm no expert and I have not had to resort to quoting the law to obtain records, but the schools are very slow to share them, and when they do they are often incomplete or partial. I try to limit my requests, but this has been a consistent problem and I think it probably partially due to some school personnel being unaware of the law - JMO.
