I'm a freshman and i am homeschooled, if i went to public school my sophomore year could i graduate?. thanks

Question

i would like to know because i have wanted to go to school for awhile, because under our school requirements i cannot play school sports, unless attending our school, and i would like to consider playing sports in college and need to know if i could graduate in three years and what it would take. thanks

Answer 1

Our school requirements are the same as yours but my son plays for the recreation centers. You don't have to play for a public high school to play in college. Now, that wasn't your question.......you can enroll in public school and graduate with everyone else your age. Talk to the school. If you are on track with your 9th grade year then it shouldn't be a problem.

Answer 2

Keep good documentation of the work you are doing this  year as a freshman. Most schools will test you on the courses you are claiming credit for. I would have your mom or dad make an appointment with the guidance counselor at the school you will be attending. The counselor can help you plan for your transition in to public school.

Answer 3

Yes, you would just have to make sure you have all the requirments for that school.

Answer 4

You really, really, really have to talk to your school. Some schools will NOT accept credit not done through the local school system--they sometimes refuse credits earned through homeschooling, online schooling or even from a private school. You really have to talk to them about whether or not they will accept your freshman credits.

You can still play sports in college if you don't play high school sports. Look into community-level sports instead.

Answer 5

i was homeschooled starting in the fifth grade and at the end of 10 th grade i sighned up to take the g.e.d. , you can also take classes before you take the test but i must say studing for the ged and just taking the test is much asier than going to your local highschool meeting al there requirments is much easier , the ged is equevlant to the highschool diploma

Answer 6

You'd have to talk to your schools. When I was considering going back -same position you're in- I found out that at my local school, you have to take their round of freshman-level classes. For me, that would have been too annoying.

Ask about testing in to the right grade.

Answer 7

So long as you have met the requirements set forth for homeschooling standards then you would be able to attend you local school and participate in sports.  My mother-in-law home schools.

Answer 8

It's really up to your individual school district.  Some will test you to assign credits, and some will just not accept homeschooling credits, period.  You really need to check with them.

You may also want to check to see if there is a homeschool or municipal/city league anywhere near you?  I don't know how urban (or homeschool-friendly) an area you live in, but many cities have these.  My son plays on one - all of the public and private schools, along with city leagues and the homeschool teams, are organized into leagues by level (rec, competitive, etc.).  Our varsity teams are regularly scouted by various colleges.

Anyway, hope that helps!

Answer 9

If you are currently comfortable in your homeschool situation you may want to check out homeschool sporting leagues as someone mentioned earlier. My son is homeschooled and all I have to do is go to the local branch (or it's website) of our county library to get some homeschool info. Also, if you belong to a group for homeschoolers there should be someone else who knows of such leagues.

Our public schools will not allow my son to play sports or even use the library for the school he would have attended. I think it is the PS's attempt to avoid people homeschooling.

However, my son IS allowed to go in for the yearly tests (Stanford in my state) as well as tests to check his levels. Take these kind of tests and you may get an idea of just how far you are and if you can just take the GED.

Answer 10

yes but you wont get a real diploma you just get a certificate of acheivement

Answer 11

ok this is ticky

i went to a public school for half a yr moved states and was homeschooled for the remander of the yr (which was my freshman year)

at the end of my freshman yrr i moved to yet another state and enrolled back in a public school but instead of proceding to becoming a sophmore they knocked me back to a freshman again 'cause they said homeschooling don't count as schooling

so it all depends on where you live and what your school accepts i was told when homeschooled that it was schooling and i would not get knocked back but i did so just look into it
