The Year-by-Year Primary and Secondary Education Histories of Homeschooled Individuals and the Implications for Empirical Homeschooling Research
Albert Cheng
Journal of School Choice, v18 n4 p461-478 2024
This study uses three nationally representative data sets of U.S. school-aged children who are currently homeschooled and two nationally representative data sets of U.S. adults who have ever been homeschooled to empirically document the amount of time homeschooled individuals are homeschooled, how much time they spend in public- or private-school settings, and the amount of exit out of or entry into homeschooling over the course of their primary and secondary education. Findings reveal high levels of variation in when and how long individuals are homeschooled. Implications for researching the homeschooling population are also discussed.
