| Abstract: | We used data from the U.S. Census Bureau's Household Pulse Survey to examine homeschool participation at the national and state levels and compare it to participation estimates from other surveys. The Household Pulse Survey also provides demographic information about the survey respondents. Specifically, we examined respondent characteristics of age, race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, education level, and household income. We find that respondents with homeschooled students were largely similar to those with public and private school students. These findings can promote a better understanding of the homeschool population in the U.S. and help inform evidence-driven policies. |
