FROM DR. ROBERT MALONE. And yes, it’s that Dr. Malone: Well Being: Homeschooling
Let’s start with some homeschooling statistics
- Homeschoolers made up73% of all school-age children (K-12) in the U.S as of 2020/2021.
- There were 3.7 million homeschool students in the U.S at the end of 2020 and estimates show that the last two years homeschooling has increased at least 10% per year. That means an estimate of 5.5 million children are being homeschooled for the 2022/2023 is probably fairly accurate. However, the hard data has not been updated since 2018.
- A study led by Michael Cogan by the University of St. Thomas revealed that the homeschool graduation statistics are 10% higher than that of students from public schools.
- Homeschooled children score 15-30% higher than students in public schools in the standardized academic achievement exams. This is based on reports from The National Home Education Research Institute in 2015.
- The National Home Education Research Institute report shows that, irrespective of the parent’s educational level and financial level, homeschoolers can score well.
- The top reason for homeschooling is a concern about school environment.
- Homeschool students outperform institutional school students academically.
- 48% of homeschooling households have three or more children.
- The average cost of homeschooling is $700-$1,800 per student annually.
- Homeschooling saves about $56 billion of taxpayer money annually (probably more now).
- There are almost no studies being conducted on homeschooling best practices and outcomes. Statistics are few. Peer reviewed studies even fewer.
