In the 2024-2025 school year, homeschooling continued to grow across the United States, increasing at an average rate of 5.4%. This is nearly three times the pre-pandemic homeschooling growth rate of around 2%. Notably, 36% of reporting states recorded their highest homeschool enrollment numbers ever — exceeding even the peaks reached during the pandemic.
I don’t have a definitive answer for this but I suspect the answer is “it depends”. My brother homeschooled for a number of years because he was very bright scholastically and it worked better for him. I tried it for a year but it didn’t work nearly as well so I went back to regular school.
All that being said, homeschooling can and is used by some hyper religious parents which can have pretty bad consequences for the children.
