10-Year-Old Boy Discovers 600-Million-Year-Old Supernova
minty3 writes "Nathan Gray, 10, from Nova Scotia, Canada, recently discovered a 600-million-year-old supernova in the galaxy PGC 61330, which lies in the constellation of Draco – beating his sister by 33 days as the youngest person to find a supernova. Gray made the discovery on October 30 while looking at astronomical images taken by Dave Lane, who runs the Abbey Ridge Observatory (ARO) in Nova Scotia. The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada confirmed Gray's discovery, but astronomers with the International Astronomical Union say they will need to use a larger telescope to make the finding official."

Take a look at the info graph - yes it is sourced.
have you seen my sig? there are many others like it but none that are the same
Every graph you will find on the topic will show, in order of performance,
Public Schools
Private schools
Homeschools / Catholic schools (I forget which performs best)
If you really want to be lazy,
Good old wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeschooling#Research
This one is a goodie-- its in a peer reviewed journal, shows the full demographic breakdown, and indicates that 65% of homeschool families in 2007-2008 spent less than $900 on schooling (compared to the average $9000 /pupil in public schools)-- a full quarter spent only $200-400. It also indicates that in all tests the students on average achieved 84th and above percentile.
