Homeschooling in Missouri has almost doubled since 2020, with no slowing in sight

from St. Louis on the Air

A recent report out of the Policy Research in Missouri Education Center at St. Louis University shows that about 61,000 children in Missouri are homeschooled — an almost two-fold increase since 2020. Executive Director Collin Hitt and Senior Research Associate Amy Shelton discuss how Missouri compares to other states, what a continued trend toward homeschooled K-12 students could mean for state-level policy and funding for public schools, and the need for more research into demographic trends and homeschooling outcomes.
