Please forgive my ignorance, but what liability could come from the student keeping thier test target?

I could not cite case law for CHL classes, but it has been a common practice for Lawyers to use arguments based on the scores of police officers involved in shootings. Even some Police Dept. have gone to a strict Pass/Fail system

"WEll Officer, it says you scored a perfect on your last Quals"

"I guess"

"That makes you some kind of marksmen Top 5% of all shooters in you Dept"

"Well, I shoot OK"

"So, why didnt you shoot the gun out of his hand instead of killing him...."

It has happened before.

Unless you can cite me a case where that was effective in court, I don't believe it. I have heard this bull for too many years.

If you are justified in using in Deadly Force, how good a shot you are will not nullify that justification. It is also well documented that shooting is much less accurate in actual Deadly Force encounters than standing static on a range. WELL DOCUMENTED.

If students want their scores I gladly tell them. If they want their targets I gladly allow them to take them.

There is no real need to do otherwise. If you perceive a need, then thats OK for you.
