Homeschool Progress Report 2009

On average, homeschoolers do much better than their public school counterparts.

The biggest news? Homeschoolers are still achieving well beyond
their public school counterparts—no matter what their family
background, socioeconomic level, or style of homeschooling.

In the study, homeschoolers scored 34–39 percentile points higher
than the norm on standardized achievement tests. The homeschool
national average ranged from the 84th percentile for Language, Math,
and Social Studies to the 89th percentile for Reading.
