Homeschool Progress Report 2009: Homeschool Academic Achievement and Demographics is the most comprehensive study of homeschoolers’ academic achievement ever completed. The study shows significant advances in homeschool academic achievement, as well as revealing that issues such as student gender, parent education level, and family income had little bearing on the test scores of homeschooled students.
Surveying 11,739 homeschooling students and their families from all 50 states through 15 independent testing services, Dr. Brian Ray found that the results of this study support the large existing body of research on homeschool academic achievement. In this study, homeschoolers, on average, scored 37 percentile points above public school students on standardized achievement tests. The study also found that the achievement gaps common to public schools were practically insignificant in the homeschool community. Conducted by Dr. Brian Ray of the National Home Education Research Institute.
