Tags: homeschooling, college, students, kids, home, school, facts, stats
Several studies have lead to the following conclusions about homeschooling and higher education:
| | Estimates indicate that 50% of homeschooled children attend college, the same percentage as children educated in public schools. |
| | They conclude that homeschoolers and traditionally educated students demonstrate similar academic preparedness for college and academic achievement. |
| | Achievement test scores of homeschooled students are high. The students' average scores were typicality in the 70th to 80th percentile, with 25% of homeschool students enrolled one or more grades above their age-level peers in public and private schools. |
| | Homeschoolers tend to score above the national average on both the SAT and ACT, the primary tests used by colleges in evaluating college applicants. |
| | A study of 2219 students who reported their homeschooled status on the SAT in 1999 showed that these students scored an average of 1083--67 points above the national average of 1016. |
| | Similarly, of 3616 homeschooled students who took the ACT scored an average of 22.7--1.7 points above the national average of 21. |
