> I've known homeschooled kids that are easily 2 grades ahead of where they would be at a typical public school - and with no social shortcomings whatsoever, but they may be outliers as the parents were brilliant themselves. I've never met a single person like this. I have met quite a few whose parents were dumber than stumps and had weird religious reasons for homeschooling their kids. The result was extremely poorly socialized, super-dumb kids who never progressed past the education level of their parents. They mostly moved to public school for high school because they wanted to play varsity sports, and they got their heads handed to them in class because they were several years behind their classmates. It's hard to learn in a class when you don't understand anything that the class is being taught and everyone thinks you're stupid to boot. One of them moved out of state immediately out of high school because he was so embarrassed at people's perception of him.
