The Changing Face of American Homeschool: A 25-Year Comparison of Race and Ethnicity
Alanna Bjorklund-Young; Angela R. Watson
Journal of School Choice, v18 n4 p540-553 2024
We use nationally representative data to explore the racial composition of modern homeschoolers. Analysis of the National Household Education Survey suggests that the proportion of students of color homeschooling has increased modestly, from 25% in 1998-99 to 29% in 2022-23, suggesting less diversity than public school students but similar to the private school population. However, the Household Pulse Survey suggests more racial diversity in modern homeschooling, with 40% of homeschoolers being students of color. Regardless, both surveys show hundreds of thousands of homeschoolers of color across the U.S., and homeschooling narratives should be updated to reflect these students.
