I suspect there is a lot of selection bias in that data. My hypothesis is that the homeschooled folks who take the ACT are more likely to do well on the ACT than the homeschooled folks who don't.


Isn't that true of public school kids who do/don't take the ACT as well?


My Title 1 school made the ACT available to all students for free (on one specific date). A lot of kids who were unprepared for the ACT took it because, why not?


We didn't have that at my school. Unless it's super widespread, it's probably not what's behind the different test results.
