Credit for courses transferred from an accredited private school are awarded as-is.

• Elementary school placement shall be determined through a review of course work, student work products, and assessment

• Middle school course placement shall be determined through a review of course descriptions, student work products, or through the administration of a credit-by-exam or comparable assessment.

• High school course credit: Credit for a high school credit course shall be determined through a credit-by-exam. The passing standard on a credit-by-exam for a course with prior instruction is a 70 or above.

Home schools are not accredited or regulated by any state agency in Texas or commission.  According to the Texas Commissioner of Education, students transferring from home schools should be afforded the same treatment as students transferring from unaccredited private schools.
