The table illustrates the percentage of homeschooled students in different grade levels in a certain country between 1999 and 2004.
Overall, the data shows a steady increase in the proportion of homeschooled students across all grades, including kindergarten. While some grades experienced minor fluctuations in the early years, all categories showed an upward trend by the end of the period.
Kindergarten had the highest percentage throughout the years, starting at 2.4% in 1999 and gradually rising to 2.9% in 2004. Its growth remained consistent without any declines. In contrast, Grades 1-2 and Grades 5-6 followed a slightly different trend. Both began at 1.5% in 1999 but saw a slight dip in 2000. However, from 2002 onwards, both levels experienced steady growth, with Grades 1-2 reaching 2.1% and Grades 5-6 increasing to 2.6% by 2004.
Grades 3-4 displayed a slow yet steady rise throughout the period, starting at 1.6% in 1999 and increasing by approximately 0.1% each year, except in 2003, when it rose by 0.2%. Similarly, Grades 7-8 remained stable at 1.6% for the first three years before experiencing a more rapid increase, peaking at 2.5% in 2004.
In summary, all grade levels saw a notable rise in the proportion of homeschooled students over the six-year period, with at least a 1% increase in each category. Despite minor fluctuations in some grades, the overall trend was upward.
