How to make a homeschool report card
- Pick the term it covers: a quarter, a semester or the full year.
- Add each subject you taught and give a grade based on tests, written work or projects. Use the same grading scale all year.
- Rate effort and conduct, and write one sentence per subject on what went well and what comes next.
- Add an overall comment, print it, sign it and file it with your attendance and work samples.
At the end of high school, the final grades from these report cards go straight into the homeschool transcript. To turn percentages into letters, use the grade calculator.
Frequently asked questions
What should a homeschool report card include?
The student’s name, grade and school year, the term it covers, each subject with a grade, and a short comment on progress. Many families add effort and conduct, the grading scale used and a parent signature, which makes it easier to accept if your child returns to school.
How often should I make a homeschool report card?
Most families make one per quarter or per semester, which lines up with traditional school calendars. Some states that require quarterly reports (New York, for example) make a report card a natural fit; elsewhere it is simply good record keeping.
Can I give letter grades as a homeschool parent?
Yes. As the teacher, you set the grades. Base them on something you can show: tests, written work, projects or a rubric, and keep a few work samples per subject so the grade can be explained later.
What is the difference between a report card and a progress report?
A report card gives a grade for each subject at the end of a term. A progress report describes how the student is doing, often mid-term and in words. This tool does both: fill in grades for a report card, or leave them blank and use effort, conduct and comments for a progress report.
Do I need report cards for my homeschool transcript?
Not by law, but they make the transcript easy. The final grades on each year’s report cards are the grades you copy into the high school transcript.
