Homeschoolers succeed in college
|
|
|
A study released last year, entitled Exploring Academic Outcomes of Homeschooled
Students, showed that homeschooled college students significantly outperformed
their peers. The study covered homeschoolers from 2004–2009 at a mid–sized college in the upper midwestern U.S.
|
Homeschooled students earned higher first year and fourth year Grade Point
Averages, and had a higher graduation rate (66.7 percent) when compared to the
overall student population (57.5 percent). Other research has shown that
parents spend on average $500 per child, per year to homeschool. In comparison,
the average public school spends over $10,000 per child, per year.
