My guess is that the range of achievement would be greater for homeschoolers than public schoolers, at comparable levels of parental education and economic status. Thus, I would expect, to say this a bit different, that measures of central tendency would be less valid for homeschoolers, that standard deviations would be larger. Simply because everything would hinge on the capabilities of the parent(s). Some parents would do a miserable job and some a wonderful job; whereas with public schools I would expect to find a great many simply do an average job.

On socialization and social skills, I would expect homeschoolers to do badly. That's the most serious problem with the approach.
