In the 2024-2025 school year, homeschooling continued to grow across the United States, increasing at an average rate of 5.4%. This is nearly three times the pre-pandemic homeschooling growth rate of around 2%. Notably, 36% of reporting states recorded their highest homeschool enrollment numbers ever — exceeding even the peaks reached during the pandemic.
This may just be a reflection of a shift in who are having children. The types of families who practice religion and are socially more conservative have more children and they are more likely to homeschool. As the “who” of having children diverges, you are likely to see more homeschooling.
