The National Center of Education Statistics (NCES) of the U.S. Department of Education recently released, 1.5 Million Homeschooled Students in the United States in 2007. This issue brief summarizes findings from the National Household Education Surveys Program (NHES) and provides estimates of the number and percentage of homeschooled children in the country in 2007, and compares them with 2003 and 1999 estimates.

"In the 2007 NHES, parents also were asked which one of their selected reasons for homeschooling was the most important. The reason reported by the highest percentage of homeschoolers’ parents as being most important was to provide religious or moral instruction (36 percent). For an additional 21 percent, the most important reason was concern about the school environment, and for 17 percent it was dissatisfaction with the academic instruction available at other schools. The remaining homeschoolers had parents who reported another reason as being most important (child has a physical or mental health problem, 2 percent; child has other special needs, 4 percent; interest in a nontraditional approach to education, 7 percent; other reasons such as family time, finances, travel, and distance, 14 percent)."
