West Virginia's homeschool evaluation: who can sign, what they review, and June 30
West Virginia lists an outside evaluation of a homeschooled student's year as one of the options its law allows each year. The signer is a certified teacher. The evaluator looks at a portfolio of samples of the student's work and produces a written narrative on the student's progress in reading, language, mathematics, science, and social studies, noting any area that needs improvement.

Checked against W. Va. Code §18-8-1(c). Requirements on this page last reviewed October 12, 2026. The regulation text is always the source of truth.
Who may sign
The signer is a certified teacher.
What the evaluator reviews, and what it produces
The evaluator looks at a portfolio of samples of the student's work. What comes out of that review is a written narrative on the student's progress in reading, language, mathematics, science, and social studies, noting any area that needs improvement (the teacher's written narrative).
When it is due
The the teacher's written narrative goes to the county superintendent, in grades 3, 5, 8, and 11 by June 30.
Other ways to meet this requirement
West Virginia's law also lists these ways to meet the yearly requirement, apart from an outside evaluation:
- a nationally normed standardized achievement test
- the state's public school testing program
- an alternative assessment agreed on with the county superintendent
Worth knowing
- The assessment is annual; the results are submitted to the county superintendent at grades 3, 5, 8, and 11 by June 30 of the year the assessment was given.
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 June 30. 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.
