Do the provisions of NCLB, such as assessments for grades 3-8, affect home schools?
No. Nothing in NCLB affects a home school or permits any federal control over any aspect of a home school, whether that home school is treated as a home school or a private school under state law. Students who are home schooled are not required to take any assessment referenced in NCLB. Home schools may participate in NCLB programs and services, however.
