Homeschool report card template
Updated June 2026
A clean homeschool report card template for any term. Print it and fill it in by hand, or use it as a model. Below it is what each section is for. When you would rather not retype grades, Homeschoolio builds the same report card from your gradebook in a tap.
| Subject | Grade | Comments |
|---|---|---|
What goes in each section
- Header. The student, grade, term, and school year the card covers.
- Subjects and grades. One row per subject, with the grade in whatever scale you use.
- Comments. A short note on progress or effort per subject, or one overall comment at the bottom.
- Attendance. Days attended out of days possible, which you can pull from your attendance tracker.
How Homeschoolio helps
Homeschoolio's gradebook already has your subject grades and your attendance, so it fills a polished report card for any term, for one child or all of them at once, and exports it as a PDF. No retyping, and the numbers always match your records.
Common questions
Do homeschoolers need report cards?
Few states require them, but they are useful. A report card is handy for a child returning to a traditional school, for a co-op or sports eligibility, for grandparents, and as a simple term-by-term record of progress.
What should a homeschool report card include?
The student and term, a row per subject with a grade, the days attended, and a short comment. A signature and date make it official. This template covers each of those.
What grading scale should I use?
Whatever fits your family: letter grades, percentages, pass/fail, or a narrative note. Younger grades are often narrative or pass/fail, while high school usually uses letters so the grades carry to a transcript.
