That is an interesting statistic what with the home taught vs regular populations and exam results. Same thing showed up in our area of the country too, however somebody did a bit of spade work and checked things out a little more carefully. Apparently, the % of home taught kids that wrote the standardized tests up here (writing is not compulsory) was FAR lower than the % writing the test from the regular population. In other words, home taught showed well because the relatively few writing the exam were prepared and probably pretty smart/sharp kids whereas pretty much everyone in the regular school population wrote the tests which would drag down results. Statistics often show up what you want to show up and hide something that tells a more accurate story. Interesting in either case though.
