Homeschooling, by the numbers

More families choose this every year, and the research is encouraging. Here is where things stand.

3.4M
K-12 homeschool students in the US (2024-25)
15 to 25
percentile points above the public-school average on standardized tests
Up from 2.5M
homeschooling in the US in 2019, and the number keeps climbing

US figures and test-score comparison from the National Home Education Research Institute (NHERI), 2024-25. Homeschooling is legal and growing well beyond the US, in the UK, Canada, Australia, and more, but no one keeps a reliable worldwide count, so we will not publish one we cannot stand behind.

Hi there

We’re Chance and Chey, twin sisters who homeschool too.

Twin sisters, best friends, and mamas. We built Homescool Scout because we felt the same thing so many families feel: a craving for community, for freedom, and for a homeschooling life with real meaning in it.

So we made one beautifully organized, soul-led place to hold it all. Plain-language law for every state, a map of real local communities we check by hand, and honest curriculum help. Room for more soul, more play, and more freedom in how you raise and teach your kids. We’re still figuring it out alongside you, not experts looking back.

Glad you found us.
