Could 53,600 California “drop-outs” be homeschooling?

California education authorities are concerned about an ever-growing ‘drop-out’ rate. High school students are disappearing by the dozens. Where are they going? Could they be homeschooling independently?

A quote from the article by Nanette Asimov:

Did they leave the state? Join a homeschool? Die? The new system recognizes 29 kinds of student invisibility, 10 of which are logged as dropouts, including “expelled.”

One stunning fact they learned was that 53,600 students who claimed they were transferring to a new school never actually showed up.
