Homeschooling growing faster than participation in Wisconsin’s public or private schools

The number of students being homeschooled in Wisconsin has surged by almost 6 percent to 32,891 since 2025, outpacing enrollment growth in both public and private schools. This significant rise highlights a broader trend of families opting for homeschooling, possibly driven by concerns over school safety, curriculum control, and the flexibility it offers. This shift could have long-term implications for public education funding and the overall educational landscape in the state.
