How many high school (grades 9-12) students are being homeschooled? An estimated 250,000 to 340,000 high school (grades 9-12) students were being homeschooled during the 2000-2001 conventional school year.
Do these numbers sound right to you?

Do these numbers sound right to you? You know, I thought the number would be more than that, but this is just high school. Both my little brothers are homeschooled currently, but that is elementary school.
I was homeschooled from 1989 - 1998. That included only one year of high school, though. The other two years were in private school, but I used the same curriculum there that I used in homeschool.
I don't know what the stats were at that time. I'm sure that my mother would, though.

Education Policy Analysis Archives - A peer-reviewed scholarly electronic journal publishing education policy analysis since 1993.
- Volume 10 Number 26 Bauman: Home Schooling in the United States Table 1 shows the number of home schooled children age 6 to 17 estimated from these data sources. Taken at face value, they show a growth from 360,000 in 1994 to 790,000 in 1999. By 1999, then, around 1.7 percent of children in the 6 to 17 age range were schooled at home. A 95 percent confidence interval for the 1999 figure goes from 670,000 to 910,000. Even at the high end of the range, the home-school population is under 1 million and less then 2 percent of all children 6-17.
To achieve the goals stated @Free Republic will require a complete overhaul of government schools &/or a rapid rise in the homeschooling rate. F.R. can't remediate the masses who have been marinated for 12-20yrs in the dogma of Darwin, Marx, Wellhausen, Dewey, Freud, Keynes, Kierkegaard (Seven Men Who Rule the World from the Grave), Antonio Gramsci and Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche.
