Homeschoolers in the News

I stumbled across a recent article about homeschooling on Sonora News.com.


Home-schooling: Rising statistics

In 2008 more than 2 million U.S. students were home-schooled. This most recent poll, provided by the National Home Education Research Institute (NHERI) proves that since 2003 the number of home-schooled students has more than doubled. The National Household Education Surveys, NHES, says 850,000 students were home-schooled in 2003. In fact, home-schooling is steadily increasing at a rate of 15 percent per year.


Here's a noteworthy tidbit from the article:

For the fall of 2009, Michael Cornelius, the Director of Advisement at Scottsdale Community College, found that the average freshman GPA was 2.54 while the average GPA for home-schooled students enrolled was 3.46.


While community college GPA is not necessarily the reason we homeschool, it is nice to see homeschoolers doing well in the academic arena.
