Homeschool report card generator.
Fill in the subjects, grades, attendance, and a comment or two — and this builds a clean, print-ready report card for the marking period, with an auto-computed term GPA and a stated grading scale. Works for any grade; print it or save it as a PDF.

Grading scale (4.0): A = 4.0 (93–100) · A- = 3.7 (90–92) · B+ = 3.3 (87–89) · B = 3.0 (83–86) · B- = 2.7 (80–82) · C+ = 2.3 (77–79) · C = 2.0 (73–76) · C- = 1.7 (70–72) · D = 1.0 (60–69) · F = 0.0 (below 60). Term GPA is the average of the subject grade points. For early grades you can ignore the GPA and just report letters.
Tip: in the print dialog, turn off headers/footers and choose “Save as PDF” for a clean one-page card. The “%” column is optional — leave it blank if you grade by letter only.
What goes on a homeschool report card
A report card is a snapshot of one marking period — a quarter, a semester, or a full year. At minimum it shows the student's name and grade level, the school name, the term and school year, and each subject with the grade earned. Most families add a short comment per subject, an attendance line, and an overall note. Keep it to a page; it's a progress summary, not a portfolio.
Choose a grading approach and state it on the card. Older students usually get letter grades (with an optional percentage); younger students often get a standards-style scale — E/S/N or 1–4 proficiency levels — where a single GPA number doesn't mean much. Either is fine. The point of stating the scale is that anyone reading the card later can interpret it.
Why keep report cards if no one requires them?
No state mandates a homeschool report card, but they earn their keep: they're a clean record of progress, the document a sports league, scholarship, or co-op class asks for when it wants grades, a credibility signal for outside activities, and a simple way to show your child — and the grandparents — how a term went. They also feed the year-end record: the term grades you assign here become the year grades on the transcript. If you want the cumulative four-year view instead of one period, use the transcript guide and generator.
Questions homeschool families actually ask
What grade levels does this work for?
Any of them. For high school, the letter grades and term GPA feed straight into the transcript. For elementary and middle grades, you can use letter grades or just type your own marks in the comment column and ignore the GPA — there's no requirement to compute one for young students.
How do I figure out a subject grade?
Average the graded work for that subject over the marking period (tests, assignments, projects), weighting however you like, then convert the percentage to a letter on the scale shown on the card. If you grade by letter as you go, just assign the letter that best reflects the term. The GPA calculator can help if you want to weight courses.
Quarter, semester, or year — which term should I use?
Whatever rhythm you keep. Many families do quarterly or per-semester cards so progress conversations happen more than once a year. Just label the term clearly (“Quarter 2,” “Fall Semester”) so a stack of cards reads in order. Each card stands alone; the transcript is where they add up.
Is a report card the same as a transcript?
No — a report card covers one period and is mostly for your records and progress updates; a high-school transcript is the cumulative four-year record colleges read, with credits, a cumulative GPA, and a graduation date. Report cards feed the transcript. See the transcript generator for the cumulative version.

We write occasionally about grading without a gradebook, how often to do report cards, building a credible transcript, and what activities and colleges ask homeschoolers for. Leave an email and we'll send it when there's something worth your time.
