What percentage of students are home schooled?

Answer 1

While I don't have the specific answer, you may be able to find that through one of the research links at the Homeschool Legal Defense Association: http://www.hslda.org/research/default.asp By the way, I believe every homeschooler should join HSLDA.

AnswerThat is the most uninformed commentary imaginable. The vast majority of home-schooled students are far above what the public school produces. My 16 year old is taking advanced chemistry, calculus, and physics. Our entire curriculum is custom designed for each of our children. Our "quick" children are permitted to move at a pace that suits them and are not held back by a one-size-fits-all lesson plan or by 4 hours of garbage time a day. (standing in line, waiting for bells to ring, waiting for papers to be picked up and handed out, lectures about things they already learned) Our "slower" children are never intimidated by cruelty and are permitted to spend as much time as needed to actually learn the material.

Unless you set something up through your state, I don't think it's a very high percentage. Most schools would have those records though. Or go to the place you would sign up for a G.E.D. and they too should have those records. The truth in fact that many homeschoolers start college two to three years before public and privet school peers, but that most colleges love homeschoolers and work very hard to welcome them to their schools and that most finish as many their peers from the other forms education.

Answer 4

Only 70% of all students in public high schools graduate, and only 32% of all students leave high school qualified to attend four-year colleges. Only 51% of all black students and 52% of all Hispanic students graduate, and only 20% of all black students and 16% of all Hispanic students leave high school college-ready. The graduation rate for white students was 72%; for Asian students, 79%; and for American Indian students, 54%. The college readiness rate for white students was 37%; for Asian students, 38%; for American Indian students, 14%. Graduation rates in the Northeast (73%) and Midwest (77%) were higher than the overall national figure, while graduation rates in the South (65%) and West (69%) were lower than the national figure. The Northeast and the Midwest had the same college readiness rate as the nation overall (32%) while the South had a higher rate (38%) and the West had a lower rate (25%). The state with the highest graduation rate in the nation was North Dakota (89%); the state with the lowest graduation rate in the nation was Florida (56%). Due to their lower college readiness rates, black and Hispanic students are seriously underrepresented in the pool of minimally qualified college applicants. Only 9% of all college-ready graduates are black and another 9% are Hispanic, compared to a total population of 18-year-olds that is 14% black and 17% Hispanic. We estimate that there were about 1,299,000 college-ready 18-year-olds in 2000, and the actual number of persons entering college for the first time in that year was about 1,341,000. This indicates that there is not a large population of college-ready graduates who are prevented from actually attending college. The portion of all college freshmen that is black (11%) or Hispanic (7%) is very similar to their shares of the college-ready population (9% for both). This suggests that the main reason these groups are underrepresented in college admissions is that these students are not acquiring college-ready skills in the K-12 system, rather than inadequate financial aid or affirmative action policies

Answer 5

According to me, a large section of children opt for homeschooling. Homeschooling is undoubtedly a convenient option especially for those students who face difficulty in going to a school for several reasons. Parents also find it easy, as children can be taught at home under the supervision of them with the help of home schooling tutors. Nowadays, with the coming of online tutoring service, homeschooling has become a very convenient way of teaching children.

In the US the answer is complex. It is determined by a slew of variables: urban location, rural location, suburban location, socio-economic level of the district, funding, local crime levels, local gang affiliations, drugs, teen pregnancy, ethnic make up of students, etc.

Answer 7

Only 25% of the population have a 4 year degree. It is not broken down to show home scooled students. With only 25% with a degree this means 75% don't have one. 5% have a MA/MS and 1% with a PhD.
