“How do you reconcile that fact to what you think is true?”

First of all, I’m not the poster who stated that homeschoolers score better. I was only trying to help by giving you this info.

Secondly, my homeschooling son placed in the 92nd percentile in math. It was a marked improvement over his public school scores. Almost all homeschoolers I know do better than when they were in public school. And they’re much happier, too!

Maybe there are more updated stats that reflect this. Maybe not.

I'm just asking if you know why what you see as your situation differs with what the HSDLA reports. I've heard the phrase that homeschoolers do better in all academic areas, I've just never seen proof. Granted, with what you posted, the verbal scores were higher in homeschoolers to public schoolers, but is there anything more recent that shows how the math stacks up?

Thanks for posting, and I appreciate your personal anecdote. I'd be interested in seeing how homeschoolers stack up nationwide - private schoolers also.

Good wishes to you and yours!
