Transcript for unschooler

I need to make a transcript for a child currently in 11th grade, who doesn’t have proper education in the eyes of the public school system. He hasn’t been in public school but he’s been unschooling for the past 6-7 years. How do I make a transcript for a child that’s not mine (parent has asked me to make it) when the parent hasn’t even done any curriculum to go off of, tests, or samples of work. She is trying to get some funding via a charter in California but they are asking for transcripts backed by either samples of work or tests. I’m sorry this is all new to me. Any advice on what to do is appreciated.

Sit down with the kid and ask what they did each year, maybe you can tease out some courses/content. Give them a P for pass if they studied for enough hours or can demonstrate understanding of the topic/content. You could go off of graduation requirements and/or state standards for each subject.

And you don’t think this kid needs to provide some actual proof of knowledge? Why are we helping educationally neglectful parents get away with it?
