This Statistics in Brief provides estimates of the number and percentage of homeschooled students in the United States in 2012 and compares these estimates with 1999, 2003, and 2007. It also presents parent reports on curriculum sources, online learning, and math and science subjects the child has been taught since beginning homeschooling. Estimates of homeschooling in 2012 are based on data from the Parent and Family Involvement in Education Survey (PFI) of the 2012 National Household Education Surveys Program (NHES). The PFI survey is designed for students who are enrolled in kindergarten through grade 12 or are homeschooled for equivalent grades.
