Scholastic Achievement and Demographic Characteristics of Home School Students in 1998.

Rudner, Lawrence M.

Education Policy Analysis Archives, v7 n8 1999

Studied the academic achievement and demographic characteristics of 20,760 home-schooled students in 11,930 families. Findings indicate the exceptionally high achievement test scores of these students, the high level of parental education for this group, relatively high income for home-school families, and the prevalence of married-couple families.
