These statistics are just nonsense. You have to compare kids with the same social background.

My MS thesis compared democraphically matched samples of kids who were being home schooled vs. kids in public schools. All were from white, middle-class fundamentalist families. The home school kids far outperformed the others on a standardized test of social maturity, the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales.

"The home school kids far outperformed the others on a standardized test of social maturity"

How many frat parties did you have to go to to complete this research?
