More than a quarter of homeschooling families are black or Hispanic.
Homeschooled students, and the educational opportunities available to them, are becoming more diverse than ever, a new study from the Center on Reinventing Public Education (CRPE) states.
“Black families are increasingly rejecting traditional district schools in favor of homeschooling,” writes Aaron Hirsh in his CRPE policy brief on “The Changing Landscape of Homeschooling in the United States,” released July 22.
About 26 percent of U.S. homeschooling families—more than 400,000—are Hispanic, and 8 percent—about 130,000 families—are black, National Center for Education Statistics data show.
Estimates of the number of homeschooled students in the United States range from two million to three million.
