YouTubeHomeschooling
Data about homeschooled children are currently collected in the NHES Parent and Family Involvement in Education (PFI) Survey. The PFI survey collects data about students who are enrolled in kindergarten through grade 12 or are homeschooled for equivalent grades. For homeschooled students, the survey asks questions related to students’ homeschooling experiences, the sources of the curriculum, and the reasons for homeschooling. Parents are the respondents.
