High School Transcript

During elementary and middle school (grades K-8), your student’s work, grades, and overall accomplishments will be entered into a semi-annual progress report. When your student reaches the high school years, a transcript will become a part of the record keeping process. A transcript is a record of your student's course work, grades, and accomplishments during the high school years (grades 9-12). The transcript will be maintained, in addition to the progress report, by the parent/teacher.

Your child's transcript will be the most important piece of information, beside the SAT or ACT score, to enable your child to apply for scholarships and attend college. Your child's transcript will be one measure in determining whether a college will accept your child or not.

What Means Do I Use to Create My Child's Transcript?

There are no set forms or standards to be used for your child's transcript, unless your home school accountability association has a set form or standard in place. You may create your transcript with word document, excel, or other similar type programs. You can use printed forms copied from the Internet, one you have created, or one that is generated for you through record keeping software.

If a student is interested in the Palmetto Fellows Scholarship, they should review the sample transcript that is provided on the following Web page, or the one provided in the printable section at the back of the Home School Hand Book.

What Should Be Included On My Child's Transcript?

A transcript is used to determine if a student qualifies for scholarships or for admittance into institutions of higher education. This report will include the following:

• The name and address of the home school.

• The parents contact information.

• The student’s personal information which is to include gender, grade level, birth date, and social security number.

• A list of courses for the 9^th, 10^th, 11^th, and 12^th grades that will include credits that were awarded, a number grade, course value, points, and the accumulative GPR.

• A course description key and grading scale.

• Standardized test scores.

• A personal resume that reflects the student’s employment, interests, and achievements.

Any high school level work that your student accomplishes before the ninth grade can be added to the transcript as well.

A high school transcript is available through the Member Center, as well as in the printable section at the back of the Home School Hand Book.
