Hi everyone,<p>Great Books Homeschool has just released this free tool for generating high school transcripts using the standard American unweighted GPA system. It's available to the public at no cost, and no account creation is required.<p>These are both resources that would have saved me time as a new homeschooling parent, and I hope they are helpful to others.<p>Comments and feedback are welcome!
This is cool! We are thinking about homeschooling and need all the tools we can get.<p>As an aside, I finished high school homeschooled. A state scholarship requires you to be in the top 10% of your class, so the state added me to a cohort of 120 people I had never met, decided I was 7th in that cohort, and gave me an extra $10k in scholarship money.<p>So yea, “top 10%” metrics are dumb.
Good luck. Pretty much anyone who "requires" a high school transcript as a prerequisite for anything will only accept them from an accredited school, or maybe from at least a recognized homeschool program.<p>If you're entirely homeschooling on your own, a transcript that looks like you created it in Microsoft Word is not going to go very far.
Congrats on releasing this high school transcript generator. I believe it's an important tool for homeschooling families. Transcripts are a crucial part of a student's academic record, especially when it comes to college applications and other post-secondary opportunities. A tool like this could be a game-changer for many families navigating the homeschooling world, so thank you.<p>In the same vein, my spouse and I have developed an app called Logbook. It's a student activity tracker built to simplify homeschooling record keeping and reporting, integrating with Apple iCloud for secure data storage and syncing. It also supports exporting of student reports as PDFs. This simplifies the reporting burden for homeschool educators immensely. If anyone is interested in checking it out, our website is <a href="https://logbook-ed.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://logbook-ed.com</a><p>I have considered building a transcript generator as part of our tool. We already keep the records and generate reports, but a transcript is pretty different to yearly education audit reports. I'm looking forward to giving this tool a try when the time comes, it may have saved me the trouble of building my own!<p>Again, thank you for your contribution to the homeschooling community.
This looks pretty neat! I'm going to link[1] the transcript we used for our homeschool just as another data point / option for those needing this. If we saw this sooner (our kids just graduated in June) though might have used this as the excel spreadsheet we used wasn't the easiest to work with at times. That said it was accepted by a four year state college so it does work at least!<p>[1] <a href="https://www.thehomeschoolmom.com/high-school-beyond/high-school-homeschool-transcript/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.thehomeschoolmom.com/high-school-beyond/high-sch...</a>
