I don't even think you have to add the qualifier "at least secular homeschooling". In the US, homeschoolers absolutely dominate their public school counterparts in educational outcomes. Of course, homeschooling parents are generally wealthier, but the statement holds true even when you control for income level and racial demographics. When tested, the average homeschooler ends up in the ~80% percentile compared to the general population [1].
Honestly, the statistics here are so stark that it shows something is deeply wrong with the US public school system. Personally, it always felt like a busy-work day-care when I went.
