2023 Academic Achievement Study (10% Off Discount!)

MPE is partnering with National Home Education Research Institute (NHERI), BJU Press Homeschool and Seton Testing Services for the 2023 Academic Achievement Study!

Participants Needed for Multi-State Research Project

We’ve all heard that homeschool students test, on average, higher than their public school peers. Did you know this data is more than a decade old?

We continue to see increasing attacks on homeschooling and our freedoms. We know that quality research is a powerful tool in protecting homeschool freedom. You have the opportunity to showcase your child’s academic success by contributing to a new, multi-state research study!

The 2023 Academic Achievement Study is an opportunity to collect current data that will help continue the important work of defending homeschool freedom.

This is a multi-state research study, and we are excited to be working with other homeschool families, homeschool support groups, and state homeschool organizations. 

Participation in this study is optional.

WHY TEST?

PROTECT HOMESCHOOL FREEDOM

Establishing a regional database of compiled scores lends credibility to the educational excellence of homeschool students. Because homeschooled students historically score very high, the larger the number of students tested, the more convincing our scores become to both legislators and the public.

Your participation is encouraged, not only for your own information, but to continue to safeguard our freedoms.

LEARN TEST-TAKING SUCCESS

Following directions, relaxing under pressure, pacing oneself, and completing work in an allotted time are all great skills that can be honed through taking tests.

Testing can be a valuable preparation for college entrance exams such as the ACT and SAT.

PROVIDE A BENCHMARK

Standardized tests indicate how your child compares academically to other children at his grade level. 

While we do have the privilege of seeing our children learn on a day-to-day basis, it is beneficial to assess a child’s year-to-year development of learning.

WE PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY

The charts of test scores shown to Kansas and Missouri legislators are combined scores of homeschool students statewide, never individual scores.
