Original Note:
Adult literacy is closer to 79% not the suggested 33%. While there isn’t a specific breakdown of public/private vs homeschooled literacy rates, 6.73% of America’s children are homeschooled, not enough to move the literacy percentage. https://www.thenationalliteracyinstitute.com/post/literacy-statistics-2024-2025-where-we-are-now#:~:text=On%20average%2C%2079%25%20of%20U.S.,US%20ranks%2036th%20in%20literacy https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2019/2019179/index.asp#:~:text=Four%20in%20five%20U.S.%20adults,of%20their%20skills%20is%20available https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/us-literacy-rates-by-state#:~:text=The%20literacy%20rate%20is%20the,are%20affected%20by%20several%20factors https://www.kutestkids.com/blog/homeschooling-statistics-19e08#:~:text=Current%20Homeschooling%20Statistics%20in%20the%20U.S.%20Homeschooling,1999%20to%20around%206%25%20in%20recent%20years
