Are Homeschoolers Prepared for College Calculus?
Wilkens, Christian P.; Wade, Carol H.; Sonnert, Gerhard; Sadler, Philip M.
Journal of School Choice, v9 n1 p30-48 2015
Homeschooling in the United States has grown considerably over the past several decades. This article presents findings from the Factors Influencing College Success in Mathematics (FICSMath) survey, a national study of 10,492 students enrolled in tertiary calculus, including 190 students who reported homeschooling for a majority of their high school years. The authors found that, compared with students who received other types of secondary schooling, students who homeschooled: (a) were demographically similar to their peers, (b) earned similar SAT Math scores, and (c) earned higher tertiary calculus grades.
