To determine the regulatory burden that each state (and Washington, D.C.) places on private schools, we used The School Starter Checklist as a reference document and then classified regulations across eight areas. They were:
Our classification system follows a stoplight pattern. “Green” regulations are reasonable and appropriate. “Yellow” regulations could be appropriate or problematic, depending on how the state enforces them. We do not and cannot have granular knowledge about how each state interprets every one of its regulations, but we also want to compare states to each other. Given this, creating a relatively broad “proceed with caution” category — yellow — seemed appropriate. Finally, we have “red” regulations that are inappropriate or problematic.

Most problematic states are: AL, IN, NE, VT, and WY.

All of these states except for VT are Red states! Why the school restrictions?
Did you mean AK instead of AL?
Where is the RANKING?
Don’t see such a list. Just a red/green light summary.

That is the ranking. If you look at all the explanatory gobblety-gook, it tells why they do it that way.
I meant AL, but AK and AL are close, you’re right. I listed AL because it has only 3 green lights whereas AK has 4.
Nice resource for opening a private school. To anyone who’s interested: You don’t have to wait and plan for years. You might be able to start the “school” as a homeschool co-op first, and then ask for accreditation. Some co-ops have received accreditation from private agencies, if they want it. One that we joined was offered accreditation but declined.
