Hi moms and dads! I'm wondering if someone in this homeschooling forum can provide some assistance. What records are homeschooled students required to keep in Texas? Any feedback is appreciated.

Greetings. It is not required by law for homeschooled students in Texas to maintain records ,notwithstanding this, it is deemed highly appropriate and valuable to keep a homeschooling portfolio for your child’s progress year to year. This information is crucial when it comes to developing a high school transcript for future college or career needs or in case the homeschooler needs to return to school down the road.

As a parent, you may want to consider things worth maintaining a record of. A couple of ideas for you:

• For any standardized tests taken, keep record of the scores

• The grades by subject received by the children

• The subject topics covered at each grade level

• Other achievements of the children including extracurricular activities the children participated in

• Any volunteer work the student spent while homeschooling

Got it. Thanks!

It is not an obligation by Texas law, but it is considered considerably helpful and beneficial to create a homeschooling portfolio for your child’s progress year to year. You probably may want to have a look at the following page which contains specific information on Texas homeschool laws and regulations:

OK. Great. Thanks!
