1998,20,760K-12 home school students in 11,930 families were administered either theIowa Tests of Basic Skills(ITBS)or the Tests of Achievement and Proficiency(TAP),depending on their current grade.The parents responded to aquestionnaire requesting background and demographic information.Majorfi.ndings include:the achievement test scores of this group of home schoolstudents are exceptionally high--the median scores were typically in the 70thto 80th percentile;25%of home school students are enrolled cne or moregrades above their age-level public and private school peers;this group ofhome school parents has more formal education than parents in the generalpopulation;the median income for home school families is significantlyhigher than that of all families with children in the United States;anda1most all home scrol students are in married couple families.Because thiswas not a controlled experiment,the study does not demonstrate that homeschooling is superior to public or private schools and the resuits must beinterpreted with caution.The report clearly suggests,however,that homeschool students do quite well in that educational environment.(Author)
