Yes; that is what I was thinking. Then I would be interested to know that at what point in the four year span do they get in; freshman? Then there would have to be some kind of testing for placement; yet you don't find those statistics. Now I would imagine the public schools have an incentive to refrain from making those public since there would then be the possibility that their agenda would be under scrutiny. The public schools get money for each child that attends from the state. So it is in their best interest to enroll as many as they can in order to improve funding. Here if you switch from public to private you must take a series of tests to establish your place in the rankings. Now if there were homeschooled children flooding districts at the ninth grade level; wouldn't that be fairly evident? Because the drop off is so severe they must be entering the schools in pretty high numbers in some districts.
Then I wonder; after all the work you put into homeschooling the kids; is there a difficult transition from home to the more rigid demands of a structured system? Is that a let-down for the parents who decided they did not want the existing system to be too influential on their kids? The biggest jump in peer group empathy occurs after puberty.
