uh, no?

Homeschoolers have on average way higher test results in all subjects. What the fuck are you tripping on? If you haven't met a homeschooler who understands chemistry, trigonometry, calculus, or even algebrea, you haven't met a homeschooler. There are plenty of clubs and recreational activities for homeschoolers, you should go to one of them and look at the kids there, then tell me that they're dumb.

You must have significant selection bias. I grew up among home schoolers that were scoring in the 90s percentiles regularly. You must only get involved when the student is in a nosedive for some reason.

Was there some selection bias there? Were you contracted to test homeschoolers that were not following through on something?

In my state any parent with a degree can administer the test themselves, so maybe you'd only be used in familiar where the parents do not have education?
