How many home schoolers are there in the U.S.?
There were an estimated 1.9 to 2.4 million children (in grades K to 12) home educated during 2005-2006 in the United States. However, no one really knows for sure, since not all states require homeschoolers to register with a central location. In states where such figures are available, it is clear that the number of homeschoolers has grown substantially over the past ten or fifteen years. For more statistical information, check with the National Home Education Research Institute.
