“…Since that time, the current population of homeschooled students is thought to have increased to over 2 million students (as of [2013][2014], or more than 4% of the school-age population (Basham, Merrifield, & Hepburn, 2007;Boschee & Boschee, 2011;Kunzman & Gaither, 2013). Homeschooling, therefore, involves a larger number of students than do charter schools, which have attracted far more public interest and a larger share of systematic scholarly attention (NCES, 2013a; nationwide charter school enrollment of ∼1.8 million students [2010][2011]; Kafer, 2009).…”

Homeschooling in the UnitedStates has grown considerably over the past several decades. This article presents findings from the Factors Influencing College Success in Mathematics (FICSMath) survey, a national study of 10,492 students enrolled in tertiary calculus, including 190 students who reported homeschooling for a majority of their high school years. The authors found that, compared with students who received other types of secondary schooling, students who homeschooled: (a) were demographically similar to their peers, (b) earned similar SAT Math scores, and (c) earned higher tertiary calculus grades.

Research has also shown that parents have diversified their methods of homeschooling incorporating a vast array of resources such as tutors, learning groups, and outside resources (e.g., libraries, museums) (Boschee & Boschee, 2011; Hanna, 2012; Muldowney, 2011).…”
