TEA recommendations on appropriate placement assessments are included in the Commissioner's Home School Policy Letter. Students transferring from home schools should be afforded the same treatment as students transferring from unaccredited private schools.
The results of the assessment may be used for grade placement or award of credit or both. Home-schooled students can enter public school at any time but should be aware that most districts have policies and procedures in place to assess the mastery level of courses that students in home schools have taken.
The State of Texas does not award a diploma to students that are home schooled. A public school district may ask parents to provide assurances in writing that they intend to home school their child. Parents who choose to home school are required to follow a course of study that includes good citizenship. Arlington ISD et al., the Texas Supreme Court upheld a lower court's decision that children being taught at home are exempt from the compulsory attendance requirement to the same extent as students enrolled in private schools. Home schooling has been a legal alternative to public schooling since 1994. The TEA does not regulate, index, monitor, approve, register, or accredit the programs available to parents who choose to home school. This web page, which provides information about home schooling, was created by the Texas Education Agency as a courtesy to parents interested educating their children at home.
