In the spring of 2007, about 1.5 million, or 2.9 percent of all school-age children were homeschooled in the United States, an increase from both 1999 and 2003. More White students were homeschooled than Black or Hispanic students or students from other racial/ethnic groups, and White students constituted the majority of homeschooled students (77 percent.) Overall the "Condition of Education" reports focus on participation and persistence in education, student performance and other measures of achievement, as well as the environment for learning and resources for education. The 2009 report includes 46 indicators. (Contains 2 figures and 4 tables.)
