ETHNICITY
Interestingly, race or ethnicity has little impact on student achievement in the homeschooling arena. In fact, the Strengths of Their Own study shows that “math and reading scores for minority homeschoolers show no significant difference when compared to whites.” And both rank higher than their public school counterparts. In reading, both white and minority homeschoolers score at the 87th percentile—38% higher than minority students in public school. In math, homeschooled minority students score in the 77th percentile; public school students averaged at the 50th percentile.
