Florida Homeschool Evaluations

Florida law requires homeschool students to complete an annual homeschool evaluation to document academic progress. A homeschool evaluation reviews the student’s learning portfolio and academic development to confirm that educational progress has been made during the school year.

Homeschool evaluations may include a review of:

• Student work samples

• Reading materials

• Writing samples

• Academic projects

• Learning activities and progress throughout the year
  
  

These evaluations provide families with the documentation needed for their homeschool records.

Homeschool Portfolio Reviews
