My Home School Grades is exactly what I needed to keep track of my students grades and create transcripts for college. Their customer service is hands down the best in the business and I don't have to worry about my personal information being compromised online.
This is by far the best tool we've every purchased for our homeschool. It's very easy to add lesson plans and grades, and transcripts can be created with just one click. I love that I can decide how grades are determined (for example: tests worth 50%, lessons worth 25%, quizzes worth 25%). I can also weight classes, such as the college class my daughter will be taking this year. Each day when I add grades the subject averages are updated, so my kids know exactly what their grades are and that motivates them to work harder. If you can only add one new thing to your homeschool, this is it!

Pros
easy to set up, great customer service, transcripts with one click
MHSG has been a lifesaver in my life. I love it and recommend it to everyone. It is easy to use and has not 3 month learning curve. You log in and start using right away. MHSG inputs lesson plans if you ask them and then you select the publisher and curricula and boom it is all there ready for you. You can also put grades in by letter, number, percentage and they all work! There are so many options to customize it for your family. And at the click of a button I can create transcripts for my graduating kids.
MHSG is worth every penny!

This program has made our homeschool recording keeping a breeze, and as someone who isn't tech savvy, it's so easy to use. I no longer worry about keeping proper records. When the time comes to print a transcript all I have to do is push 1 button and it's all there and ready to print. I no longer have to average grades as the program does it for me. I also love that I am able to plan my lessons and have it all in one place. This program also tracks my kids extra curricular activities as well. I highly recommend this program to anyone desiring to simplify their homeschool journey!
I have tried so many planners and grade-keepers that I have lost track! What I noticed when I first tried My Home School Grades is that it was so simple to use. Also, when I had a problem, support was just a call or email away. I love how I can track extra curricular activities, grades, field trips, and just about anything else from my computer, tablet, or phone. It works great with my Macbook, which was a major problem with other programs in the past. The best thing? Our evaluator made a comment about how professional my daughter's transcript was this year.
What a life saver! After homeschooling for years in a state that had very little oversight or requirement and then moving to a state that required all kinds records, grades etc. MHSG was a huge benefit! Use of their services gives automatic credibility with the academic institutions in our new state. We are able to transition into this new academic environment with confidence and ease thanks to MHSG.
