How to Do Transcripts for Homeschooled Highschoolers

Many of our friends have home-schooled their children from kindergarten through high school due to their frequent moving due to the government.
They have always registered their children with the local school system, and had them tested at the beginning of the year, mid-year, and at the end of the year to ensure that they were on task, and registered their grades with the local school system. This way they are able to maintain their children's progress and their GPA.
In the past, you have been able to register your children at the local high schools and allow them to take course work that is not available in the home school cirriculum, and to have social interatction and to belong to clubs: Key, Anchor, Civics, etc.
I hope that this helps you.

Your local homeschool organizations offer a wealth of information on all of these details, requirements and legal aspects. If you are in Pinellas - you should check into the PPEA(Pinellas Parent Educator Assoc). They have an extensive website as well. Also is the FCH (Fellowship of Christian Homeschoolers). Otherwise I believe that the FPEA (Florida Parent Educators Assoc) has loads of info.... There are also several online groups that have discussions and forums regarding requirements. You could always talk to the other moms that are involved in the same outings, park days or co-ops as your child. Those moms will likely either have already done what you are asking or know someone.... I do know that it is NOT necessary to put your child into public school in high school in order to attend a great college. Many colleges seek out homeschoolers and know how it works. Best wishes!

Our neighbors home schooled their children. When their daughter got high school age they put her in high school and plan to do the same with their son. But he will be better prepared for public school. Their duaghter was behind and had to do a lot of summer school to catch up to graduate with kids her own age.

check with local home schooling groups, they will be able to tell you. maybe even a local community college...

Actually what you need to do is look up admissions requirements for a few schools, they are usually on line. You will find that a lot of very good schools are actually seeking out homeschoolers. I am the homeschooling mother of 8 children, 5 school aged. My home school mentor has gradated 2 children one with a GED and one with a home made transcript. They both took the SAT and ACT and did very well on both. They have both been accepted to main stream universities and received some type of scholarship. It also depends on your states regulations. Florida only requires a homemade transcript with a home made diploma and your normal end of year evaluation to say you finished 12th grade.
So to sum up :) don’t give up the good fight, it is soooo possible to homeschool through high school and we are being sought after by colleges and universities. You can do an umbrella school that keeps track of all your grades and graduates your kids or you can just keep doing what you are doing.
Keep up the good work!!
