Homeschool Grading Guide

A homeschool grading scale is a system used to evaluate a student’s academic performance, subject comprehension, participation, completed work, and overall progress throughout the school year. Parent-teachers use grading scales to measure learning outcomes, maintain organized homeschool records, prepare report cards or transcripts, and document student growth and achievement.

Below is a homeschool grading scale that can help parent-teachers evaluate overall student performance throughout the homeschool year.

A+ / A / A- — MASTERED
