Homeschooling StatisticsThe latest studyNew homeschooling statistics are finally available! Until now, the latest research on homeschool academic achievement was completed in 1998 by Dr. Lawrence Rudner of the ERIC Clearinghouse. Because of his research, you will find that few will deny that homeschoolers excel in academics. The newest research, conducted by Dr. Brian Ray of NHERI, uses data from the 2007-2008 academic year. This study included nearly 12,000 homeschool students for all 50 states who took one of three nationally normed tests, the CAT, ITBS, or SAT.  Dr. Ray's findings are consistent wil that of Dr. Rudner from over a decade ago. Homeschoolers, on average, consistently perform above average academically. National Average Percentile Scores
There are well documented achievement gaps in public school between boys and girls, higher and lower income levels, and higher and lower education levels of parents. These are not as extreme in the homeschool community. Core (Reading, Language, and Math) Percentile Scores of Homeschoolers
