According to SC Home School Law, the parent/teacher is to maintain a Semi-Annual Progress Report. These reports will contain information that indicates the progress of your child in all subject areas.

What is a Semi-Annual Progress Report?

A Semi-Annual Progress report is used to determine the child's progress during the 1^st Semester and 2^nd Semester of each school year. This report will include the following:

• The name and address of the home school.

• The beginning date, ending date, and grading scale for the current school year.

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

• The grading period will reflect the subjects, letter/number grades for the 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, and 4^th quarters, letter/number grades for the 1^st and 2^nd semesters, and a final grade.

• The attendance section will reflect the number of days by month for each semester.

• A teacher’s comment section is available for the parent/teacher to add notes or explanations that will assist future reviews.

• A separate page for the 1^st Semester, and 2^nd Semester, has been provided as an additional administrative tool. These tools will compare the student goals against their actual accomplishments. A teacher’s comment section is available for the parent/teacher to add notes or explanations that will assist future reviews. These pages are optional.

A student’s semi-annual progress report provides information for the 1^st and 2^nd semesters of each school year, where as a student’s transcript is formatted for the 9^th, 10^th, 11^th, and 12^th grades. The semi-annual progress report is required by the state grades K through 12, where as the transcript is an administrative tool used by high school students to gain access to scholarships and to meet the admission process requirements for colleges, universities, and tech schools.

Important Note: In most cases, when students return to the public or private schools setting, the school will request a progress report for elementary and middle school student’s, and a transcript for high school students.

A semi-annual progress report is available through the Member Center, as well as in the printable section at the back of Home School Hand Book.
