Why make a middle school transcript?
Colleges look at high school records, so a middle school transcript isn’t needed for college applications. It’s still worth keeping. A one-page record of grades helps if your child enrolls in a public or private school, applies to a selective high school program or a co-op with entry requirements, or takes high school-level courses early. It also gives you practice before the high school transcript, which matters much more.
What to include on a middle school transcript
- School information: your homeschool’s name, address and administrator.
- Student information: full name, date of birth and the grade years covered.
- Courses by grade: one table per year with the course, grade and any notes.
- Grading scale and, if you calculate one, a GPA.
- Signature and date from the homeschool administrator.

High school credit taken in middle school
Courses like Algebra I or a first-year foreign language are often taken in 8th grade. If the course meets high school standards, many families list it on the high school transcript with its credit, and note it on the middle school transcript too. Keep a course description for these courses so the credit is easy to justify later.
How to make a middle school transcript
- Gather your records such as report cards, gradebooks and course lists for each year.
- List each course under the year it was completed.
- Add final grades using one grading scale throughout.
- Mark early high school credit in the notes column.
- Sign, date and save a copy with your homeschool records.
