SUMMARY OF TWO REPORTS FROM THE WASHINGTON HOMESCHOOL RESEARCH PROJECT, 1987

/

Two new reports were released in March 1988 from the Washington Homeschool Research Project.  The first, Report from the 1987 Washington homeschool testing, contains a detailed tabulation of the scores of 873 home schoolers on the Stanford Achievement Test.  The second, The relationship of selected input variables to academic achievement among Washington's homeschoolers, is based upon a sampling of 470 and presents an analysis of test scores as a function of parent education level, degree of structure in the home schooling, number of years home schooled, and other variables.
