Homeschooling More Than Doubles During the Pandemic

Driven in large part by new homeschoolers, public schools across the country are experiencing plummeting enrollment.

In North Carolina, homeschooling filings nearly tripled. In New York City, homeschooling increased by nearly one-third this fall. In Vermont, homeschooling applications were up 75 percent compared to last year. In Wisconsin, homeschooling filings more than doubled this year, and in Connecticut, more than six times as many students have left the public schools for homeschooling compared to last year.
