I’ve worked at the Junior High and High School level and often see students enroll from home schooling. Often they are academically behind their peers in one or more subjects – math typically being one of them. Socially, it seems difficult for students to make friends at that age. It seems they often friend those students that are not involved in positive extracurricular (school related or not) activities. Those students also seem to be more comfortable talking to their teachers than their peers, which makes it even more difficult to acquire strong peer relationships during the 1st year back in the public school setting.

I think that the success of home-schooling is very dependent upon how involved the parent is with other families and support systems to ensure the student is able to build strong social skills and friendships.
