The highest concentration of home schoolers is from the rural/suburban West.
Absolutely. More and more universities recognize that homeschoolers are a great asset to their institution. Many universities have specific procedures for handling homeschool applications. Some homeschoolers attend community college in high school and can use those transcripts as proof of ability or even to receive college credit. Homeschoolers have been accepted into every prestigious university in the US.
the best resources specifically for homeschoolers is (http://www.midnightbeach.com/hs/).I think that was the best website for homeschoolers based on my knowledge.
About 460, if you don't count homeschoolers.
I would talk to your public school. They will have some sort of record of other homeschoolers in the area.

They call it homework.
It depends what the teacher teaches them.the teacher has to follow a strict curriculum in schools and in homeschooling, the teacher can add or subtract subjects. So homeschoolers,yes learn more.I am a homeschooler myself!!
It depends on the state that you live in. Many homeschoolers contract with an accredited education company for the curriculum that they use with their children.
The answer is No I am homeschooled and this is a common question for homeschoolers
Yes. A lot of colleges are looking for homeschoolers
I don't know if there are any valid statistics to answer your query. However, I was home schooled as were my brothers and I believe we have done very well. The three of us hold advanced degrees and are very active in our chosen community affairs. I don't believe it is an either/or situation. I believe it is which is of the higher quality. If parents or whomever is supervising the home educating are dedicated and dilligent It can result in a well educated, emotionally stable child. There are many options for home schooled children to inter-act with their peers and build their social skills. Such as sports, scouting, religious affiliations, etc... What you'll find there seems to indicate that on any scale the sociologists have chosen to measure, homeschoolers do as well as or better than the people in the community schools. Yes! Ivy league schools actually have specific recruiters for homeschoolers, because they ROCK! (I'm a homeschool dad currently talking to Harvard and Princton. They LIKE homeschoolers.)
Homeschoolers are no different from public or private schooled kids. They are still learning just not the way most people do it. All homeschooling isn't the same everyone has there own way of doing thingsFrom a homeschooled 12 year old.make piece not war
