Homeschooling works! Homeschooled Children are more likely to score higher on the ACT than Public schoolers or even Private School attendees. Homeschooled Students average a 22.4 out of 36 as compared to the National average of 21.1. (HSLDA.org)

ACT Testing officials began to track homeschooler’s scores in 1996, and in every year, the homeschoolers have scored higher than the national average.

In fact, this is true for nearly all standard tests.

On the Iowa Basic Skills test the nationwide average for homeschoolers (k-12) is at the 77^th percentile. Which Means homeschoolers score better than 77% of other students who take the test.

A study by wheaton college showed that homeschoolers scored 58 points higher on their SAT scores than their public or private school peers.

Obviously, homeschooling achieves and overacheives the goal of educating children and bringing them up to college standards (as test results show, even better than public and private schools)!

Homeschooling is… beneficial. It’s a proven fact that home school students are as academically capable as public or private school students.
