What Georgia asks for

The filing centers on an assessment result for each student. Georgia requires a nationally standardized test at least once every three years, starting at the end of third grade, given by someone qualified to interpret results. Scores stay with the family — they aren't submitted to the state.

When it is due

Georgia reports once a year, but publishes no single statewide date, so your deadline can depend on your district. Confirm it with the office that receives your filing, then treat it as fixed.

Who reviews it

A standardized test result carries this in Georgia. Register earlier than feels necessary, because test dates and approved administrators fill up. Keep the score report with your records whether or not you have to submit it.

Pulling the numbers together

Nearly every field on the report traces back to records you either kept or skipped. Total hours taught, subjects covered, progress per student, dates of instruction: all of it is a copy job if you logged as you went, and a weekend of detective work if you didn't. Homeschool Fox keeps the running totals for Georgia and turns them into a printable report, which leaves you reviewing numbers instead of hunting for them.

If you miss a deadline

A missed deadline in Georgia is fixable. File as soon as you catch it instead of waiting for the office to ask. Contact them, explain in a sentence, and send what you have. Things get harder when a family goes quiet for a few months, and a report that arrives a week late rarely registers at all. Set a reminder two weeks ahead of each date and the problem stops recurring.

Common mistakes in Georgia

• Forgetting the every-third-year test

  Georgia requires a nationally standardized test at the end of grade 3 and every three years after, so grades 6, 9, and 11. Results are kept in your records rather than submitted, which is why families forget the test is due at all.

Getting ready to file in Georgia

Do these through the year and the report turns into an hour of copying numbers you already have.

1. 1

   Put every due date on a calendar now

   Confirm your exact date with the office that receives the filing, then set a reminder two weeks ahead of it.

2. 2

   Keep the attendance total current

   Most reports open with the number of days or hours taught, and that is the hardest figure to recover once the year is over.

3. 3

   Note progress as you go

   A sentence per subject per month becomes a progress summary you can hand over without writing anything new.

4. 4

   Collect work samples through the term

   Pull two or three dated samples per subject as you finish them. Hunting for them the week of the deadline is where the stress comes from.

5. 5

   Send it and keep proof

   Save a copy of what you filed and the date you sent it, the same way you would with your notice of intent.
