Do you have your homeschooler’s high school transcript prepared and ready to roll? Or are you frozen in fear at the thought of it? For many homeschooling parents, just thinking about a high school transcript seems overwhelming. We have good news for you: you can totally relax because, by the time you finish reading this, you’ll have the tools to develop your own high school transcript!

What Is a High School Homeschool Transcript?

A transcript is simply a written record of your high school student’s academic progress from 9th to 12th grade. Think of it like the transcript of a video. You have a video you can watch and then you have the transcript you can read. Well, instead of recording your high schooler’s entire life for four years, you can sum it all up in the high school transcript. It’s another piece of the “paper trail” you may have been developing for your student throughout the course of your homeschooling years. It outlines the subjects your students studied when they studied those subjects and their final grades in those subject areas. That’s it!

So why is it so scary to homeschool parents? We’re guessing because it spans several years and because it can be time-consuming to put together at the last minute. While the fact that it covers several years shouldn’t scare you, you definitely don’t want to throw one together at the last minute. You’ll want to keep adding to the transcript each year (at the end of the year) so you’re not struggling to remember everything your student did for four years.

What Information Is Necessary on a High School Transcript?

Since the high school transcript is so important, make sure your student’s transcript has all the necessary information. Aside from your student’s contact information, the high school transcript should also contain all academic subject work your student has completed, the grade he or she received in each, and the credits earned for each course. In addition, you’ll want to include all schools your student attended, as well as any awards or achievements your student earned and his or her standardized test scores.

You can create a high school template by year, so all information recorded shows everything your student did each year. However, our free high school transcript template arranges information by subject. This is especially helpful for families whose students may not have completed academic subjects “in order” or whose students may have taken longer to complete subjects.
