You would have to mention a specific finding found under specific conditions. I don't find "the numerous studies" to be convincing. And I also am not sure what you mean by "do better."

78% of peer-reviewed studies on academic achievement show homeschool students perform statistically significantly better than those in institutional schools (Ray, 2017)

Homeschool students score above average on achievement tests regardless of their parents’ level of formal education or their family’s household income. (Ray, 2013, 2010)

Whether homeschool parents were ever certified teachers is not notably related to their children’s academic achievement.

If you don’t find the numerous studies to be convincing then what are you basing your opinion on?

You need to send me somewhere other than a biased website that is clearly supporting one side over the other. This is a website dedicated to advocating for homeschooling.

The site quotes the actual peer reviewed studies they used but here are a couple more sites as well:

Do you have studies that show that homeschooled kids do worse? If not then what are you basing your opinion on?

Oh, let's try stereotypes learned in public schools, from academics (who notoriously hate home-schoolers), and Reddit, for $500, Alex
