Vermont's homeschool evaluation: who can sign, what they review, and when it is due
Vermont lists an outside evaluation of a homeschooled student's year as one of the options its law allows each year. The signer is an individual who holds a current Vermont teacher's certificate. The evaluator looks at the student's progress for the year and produces a review of the student's progress.

Checked against 16 V.S.A. §166b(a)(3). Requirements on this page last reviewed October 12, 2026. The regulation text is always the source of truth.
Who may sign
The signer is an individual who holds a current Vermont teacher's certificate.
What the evaluator reviews, and what it produces
The evaluator looks at the student's progress for the year. What comes out of that review is a review of the student's progress (the teacher's review).
When it is due
The the teacher's review is written once a year and kept in the family's own records (the statute asks parents to maintain the record of each assessment).
Other ways to meet this requirement
Vermont's law also lists these ways to meet the yearly requirement, apart from an outside evaluation:
- a parent report and portfolio with a summary of the year and at least four samples of student work
- a standardized assessment
For families
The portfolio, the log, and the samples an evaluator asks to see are easiest to produce when they were kept as the year happened, not assembled the week before it is due. A photo of a finished project, a logged book, a math sample each month: each one is a thirty-second entry, and by the time the evaluator asks, the record already exists.
The record is free for families, forever: capture, the expense log, the portfolio, the verifiable transcript, verification, export. Generating filled-in artifacts, like an annual 529 expense file or an ESA quarterly report, is the one optional paid family service, part of Family Pro at $119 per year, and every document previews filled-in, free, first.
