This is a starting point. You might need additional tables depending on the school's specific requirements (e.g., disciplinary records, extracurricular activities, test scores, etc.). Remember to always comply with all relevant privacy regulations when designing and managing this kind of database. Consider using encryption and access control mechanisms to protect sensitive student data.
