The table illustrates the proportion of homeschooled students in a particular country from 1999 to 2004. Overall, it reports on five different grades during this period: Kindergarten, Grades 1-2, Grades 3-4, Grades 5-6, and Grades 7-8.
Notably, enrollment in kindergarten saw significant increases during each period. In 1999, the percentage of kindergarten students who were homeschooled was at 2.5%, while students in the other grades averaged percentages of approximately 1.5% to 1.6%. Furthermore, kindergarten enrollment remained relatively stable in the subsequent years, despite Grades 1-2 and 5-6 having the lowest percentage of homeschooled students in 2000. In that year, these grades showed a similar level of around 1.3%. However, the other grades consistently maintained percentages above 1.5% during these two years.
Moreover, in 2002, enrollment in Grades 7-8 exceeded 2%, while three other grades nearly reached 2.0% in the same year. Additionally, kindergarten students peaked at nearly 2.7% between 2002 and 2003, with Grades 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8 also surpassing 2.0% in 2003. By 2004, all grades achieved percentages above 2.0%, with most approaching 2.9%, marking the highest rates recorded in this table.
As a result, both grades consistently saw significant increases in enrollment; however, kindergarten remains the primary grade experiencing growth in homeschooled students.
