Many homeschooled children do go on to school. I don't have the statistics like you do for our area. However, I have spoken to a psychiatrist that I met once. He said that in his practice and on the boards that he sits on, he sees that most homeschooled children tend to be more self-assured as well and that plays a part in their academics. Their confidence allows them to do things that perhaps a peer group would look down upon. He and his wife have since pulled their five children out of school and homeschool them. We also have our son at home.
