Statistics on HomeschoolingDr. Brian Ray of NHERI, recently published new statistics on homeschooling. His findings show that children can be educated at a level that is significantly higher than and average public school at a fraction of the cost. This is the newest research available. It used data from nearly 12,000 homeschool students during the 2007-2008 academic year. National Average Percentile Scores
The amount of money spent educating a child at home, the level of government regulation and having at least one parent as a certified teacher did not make a significant difference in test scores. National Core Percentile Scores

Each state has different homeschool regulations. Families in some states do not have to initiate any contact with the state, while families in other states must fullfill numerous requirements and document them to state officials. Surprisingly, this does not affect homeschool achievement according to this study.
