Becoming a College student begins many years before you enroll.
Introduction
The paper is based on analyzing percentage of the home school students that succeed in getting admission in the college and universities. The research has been based on findings the number of students that take home schools while also gets admission in the colleges and the universities. The research paper has taken into account extensive information about the home schooled students in the United States.
Discussion
Although the regional sample is self-selected and may not be totally congruent with the rest of the Association's families, the sample itself is instructive. The sample tended to stress a strong moral code, academic achievement, and social skills. The families tended to have two parents in residence, to be well-educated, to be White (non-Hispanic) and to be Christian. Measured against the Department of Education's list of factors which increase/decrease school achievement, these children would be predicted to perform with success as adjudged by typical barometers of academic achievement. Examples of such risk factors include poverty, single-parent family, lack of English spoken in the home, teen-age pregnancy, low level of mother's education, and chronic medical problems (Flinn 1993; Principal Magazine, 2004; NCES 2000).
While standardized test results were not available for the Regional sample, there are results from the national sample of home-schooled children. For all twelve grades tested and for all of the seven scaled scores, the home-schooled students outscored their private/public school counter-parts. The seven scores were composite, reading, language, math, social studies, science, and national median. The percentiles ranged from 62nd to the 91st percentile (Rudner, 1999).
Although estimates vary, the numbers and proportions of homeschooled students in the U.S. seem to be increasing. Demographic data on home-schooled children from a regional area of the country are compared / contrasted to national data on home-schooled children. Both samples are then compared to national demographics of non-home-schooled students. Whereas gender of student was consistent, across samples, variability occurred across proportion of two parent families, ethnicity/race, and number of children, reasons to home-school, religiosity, and levels of parental education. The constellation of factors common to the regional home-schooled families is aligned with enhanced academic achievement.
This manuscript addresses the relative congruence that a (self-selected) sample of families which home-school their children from one area of the country shares with the larger national sample of families ...
