Probably because the public school standardized test score averages are dragged down by abysmal inner city schools and immigrant students whose primary language is not English, whereas homeschooled children are almost entirely from an unrepresentative population of comparatively wealthy and established homes.
Blah, blah, blah, I have to at least give you credit for your attempted answer, but the truth is they outrank and most don't buy into the lie that evolution is fact, and that's the point!
Money and wealth is not the problem and never has been so your socialist dogmatic answer would be more useful over on DU!

Well, actually, we live in a lily white county without any inner city population and the public schools education here still lags woefully behind the education that our co-op home-schooled kids are getting.
No matter what religious or secular or socioeconomic or family background kids comes from, they will, on the average, do worse in today's public school system that they would in private school or in homeschool or even in the public schools of the 1950's and 1960's era.
Wrong.
The homeschool community here in Orlando and Tampa is working to upper middle class. I only know two families that earn more than 200,000/yr.
Also, There are some immigrant families, especially Asians homeschooling.
