Homeschooling rates surge across the country in the wake of COVID: Report
Fox News
A new report from Johns Hopkins University shows homeschooling rates growing in the 2023-2024 school year in 19 out of 21 different states surveyed.
Among the 21 states that reported their homeschooling participation for the 2023-2024 school year, only two showed a decline. The other 19 states showed increases, ranging from slight to significant. Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
For example, Georgia saw a 2% rise in homeschooling while Delaware’s is much higher at 29%, the report states. Vermont and New Hampshire saw decreases in the number of parents homeschooling their children. However, the researchers add that the decline in New Hampshire may not actually reflect a drop in homeschooling.
