Many schools, employers, and government agencies require this step. Evaluations USA provides fast, accurate, and affordable academic evaluations—so you can move forward with confidence.

What Is a High School Evaluation?
A high school (secondary school) evaluation is a credential report that determines whether your foreign education is equivalent to a U.S. High School Diploma. This evaluation helps U.S. institutions understand your academic background using a standardized U.S. framework.
These evaluations are commonly required for:
Which Evaluation Type Do You Need?
High school and secondary school evaluations can be completed in two formats. If you are unsure which format you need, we recommend confirming with your receiving institution before ordering—or reach out to us and we’ll help you choose.
Standard Evaluation
(Same-day available for $115)
- Employment verification
- Military recruitment
- Many admissions applications (when course detail is not required)
- Government & Immigration documentation
- A clear U.S. equivalency determination (typically High School Diploma)
- A professional report formatted for official submission
Course-by-Course
(Same-day available for $200)
- Colleges, universities, and community colleges
- Programs requiring subject-by-subject review (e.g., math/science prerequisites)
- Cases where grade conversion or GPA calculation is requested
- Course-by-course breakdown of secondary education
- Credit and Grade conversion (when applicable)
- U.S. GPA calculation
- A clear U.S. equivalency determination
Quick Tip: If the receiving organization asks for "equivalency only" or "general evaluation," the Standard Evaluation is usually sufficient. If they ask for a "transcript evaluation," "credit/grade conversion," or "GPA," you should choose Course-by-Course.
