Please read this report (PDF) on homeschooling. It is from the HSLDA. Here is its description on their web site:

Homeschooling Grows Up is the largest research survey to date of adults who were home educated. Over the last decade, researchers, professionals, parents, the media, and many others have asked repeatedly: How do homeschooled students turn out? Can a homeschool graduate get into college or get a job? How do they fit into society? Are they good citizens? Are they happy?

In 2003, HSLDA commissioned Dr. Brian D. Ray, president of the National Home Education Research Institute, to conduct a study to answer these questions. The results of his research demonstrate that homeschoolers are succeeding.

Structured around 2 Timothy 4:1-3, this work discusses Christian preaching and education. In the process, it criticizes secular theories on learning methods, and calls for a comprehensive teaching and writing ministry from preachers of the gospel.
