“this is something that the data has to actually exist for since several percent of US children have been homeschooled for the last several decades.”
Never mind. There aren’t particularly good studies. But what exists seems to say that homeschooled students do much better than average for all students, but maybe somewhat worse than the average for students with their parent’s SES backgrounds.
But the data mostly comes from non-random samples, so it is hard to generate firm conclusions.
It’s also mostly “conditional on acceptance, homeschooled students do better”—and given the selection bias in the conditional sample, that would reflect a bias against them in admissions, rather than being a fact about homeschooling.
