Could Homeschooling Work for You?

The average homeschooling family spends around $546 per student each year, and yields an average 85th percentile ranking on test scores. By comparison, the average annual expenditure of $5,325 per public school student yields on average a 50th percentile ranking.

The Institute collected data on 5,402 homeschool students from 1,657 families for the 1994-95 and 1995-96 academic years. The study was conducted in collaboration with the Home School Legal Defense Association, a non-profit advocacy organization for homeschooling parents.
