Academic performance

• The home-educated typically score 15 to 30 percentile points above public-school students on standardized academic achievement tests.
• 78% of peer-reviewed studies on academic studies on academic achievement show homeschool students perform statistically significantly better than those in institutional schools.
• Homeschool students score above average on achievement tests regardless of their parent's level of formal education or their family's household income.
• Children's academic achievement is not related to whether homeschool parents were ever certified teachers.
• The degree of state control and regulation of homeschooling is not related to academic achievement.
• Home-educated students typically score above average on the SAT and ACT tests that colleges use for admissions.
• Colleges are actively recruiting homeschool students.

It is possible that homeschooling causes the positive traits reported by research. But the research designs to date do not conclusively prove that.

There is also no empirical evidence that homeschooling causes negative things compared to institutionalised schooling
