Around here, there seem to be four factors that are turning parents to parochial schools or homeschooling:

1. Outrageous leniency about discipline

2. School closing which transferred students from a local school to schools miles away.

3. Common Core

note this part of the article:

However, Estrada warned that Common Core “threatens the foundation of homeschooling.” Standardized tests, such as the SAT and ACT, are beginning to be aligned to Common Core standards, and this sets a worrisome precedent for homeschooling. School districts are also becoming more emboldened to coerce homeschoolers to follow their education standards. Westfield, New Jersey saw a school district push homeschoolers to follow Common Core. Estrada’s organization, HSLDA, stepped in and Westfield backed off its outrageous demand. Additionally, there are student privacy concerns with Common Core, when student information is logged into a database.

You can probably add co-ed bathrooms and locker rooms in the near future.
