assume it's not Texas.

Things may have changed since I looked into home schooling in Texas last year. If so, sorry. But this is the state of things as of about a year ago.

Texas has very, very lax home school requirements. No tests; no requirements, besides teaching something like reading, arithmetic, and civics, and having a written curriculum available for inspection showing what you'll teach to cover them. There are no criteria for evaluating the curriculum, and therefore there is no basis for ruling it inadequate.

Home schooling parents are considered to be running a private school. They issue grades; they are authorized to provide a diploma which, technically at least, is considered equivalent to a public school diploma for Tx state purposes.
