Where can i find statistics about how well African American boys do when homeschooled?

Page five of this PDF file from hslda has statistics regarding homeschooled minority students compared to publicly schooled minority students. http://www.hslda.org/docs/study/comp2001/HomeSchoolAchievement.pdf

I don't have the exact statistics, but http://www.hslda.org/docs/nche/000010/200410250.asp has a paragraph that states "Another important finding of Strengths of Their Own was that the race of the student does not make any difference. There was no significant difference between minority and white homeschooled students. For example, in grades K-12, both white and minority students scored, on the average, in the 87th percentile. In math, whites scored in the 82nd percentile while minorities scored in the 77th percentile. In the public schools, however, there is a sharp contrast. White public school eighth grade students, nationally scored the 58th percentile in math and the 57th percentile in reading. Black eighth grade students, on the other hand, scored on the average at the 24th percentile in math and the 28th percentile in reading. Hispanics scored at the 29th percentile in math and the 28th percentile in reading. " HTH

as a sibling of 2 home schooled boys i can tell you that your boys will only do as well as you do at being a teacher, socializing them somehow, and keeping on top of them about school work and learning to interact with humans. i think the statistics are skewed by parents who do a bad job at not only parenting but teaching get a good cirriculum find ways your kids can be social and interact with humans don't let your kids run wild make them do homework, extra testing, and work harder. they'll thank you for it. you have to learn to work hard in life becuase that is the most important skill in life and if you have to work harder learning to work hard, thats even better.

I am an African American homeschooler. Here is some information on African American Homeschooling: http://www.successful-homeschooling.com/african-american-home-school.html I am not sure there have been studies specifically on Af Am boys. Here are some links to statistics on homeschooling that include information on gender/race/economics: http://www.successful-homeschooling.com/homeschooling-statistics.html Here is some info about learning styles and different ways to teach. I think this, combined with parental involvement, is the key to homeschooling: http://www.successful-homeschooling.com/learning-styles.html http://www.successful-homeschooling.com/homeschooling-methods.html Here's a recent article about Af Am Homeschooling: http://www.newsobserver.com/105/story/1086306.html Here's a book about Af Am Homeschooling: http://www.amazon.com/Freedom-Challenge-African-American-Homeschoolers/dp/0962959111 Hope this helps!

I do not believe in supporting the division of races by segregation through exclusive groups,as I believe that we are all born with the potential to succeed. I believe there are many statistics that display the AA community in a negative light, and unfortunately I do not think that having a "AA moms only" group is going to help. The sad test scores and dropout rates are pretty much across the board, and are prevalent in white communities as well......The only common denominator is PUBLIC SCHOOL.
