How have home-schooled students performed on standardized achievement tests?
Parents are switching to home schooling because it works. In studies done by Dr. Brian Ray of the National Home Education Research Institute, data was collected for standardized academic achievement tests for the 1994 1995 school year. Home school students from grades K 12 were compared against public school students from grades K 12. In every subject area, home schoolers scored on average 30% higher than their public school counterparts!
