Homeschooling Soars in New York | US News

Homeschooling in New York is exploding — over 53,900 kids were homeschooled last year, triple what it was 15 years ago, with 14,000 in NYC alone. Growth since 2023 hit nearly 8%, outpacing charter schools’ 3%. Fueled by public school struggles — less than half of students pass key tests — parents are turning to homeschooling for personalized, hands-on learning and smaller class sizes. But it’s not without rules: parents must notify districts, create plans, track attendance, and meet yearly assessment requirements. Some wonder if government funding could help more families, while others fear it might compromise the freedom that draws them to homeschooling in the first place.
