Every Florida Homeschool Family Must Complete an Annual Evaluation.
Florida Statute 1002.41 requires that every family registered as a home education program complete an annual evaluation of their child’s educational progress. This must be done by a Florida DOE certified teacher and submitted to your county school district each year.
The law gives you five options. At ClearPath we offer the two easiest – both fully online, both completed by a certified teacher.
No minimum score is required. The evaluation simply confirms that your child is making educational progress consistent with their ability. That is it.
