I would love to compare these Home-schooled kid’s scores on basic aptitude tests compared to their public school counterparts.

“I would love to compare these Home-schooled kid’s scores on basic aptitude tests...”

Depending on the subject; they scored at grade level, and up to 2 grades ahead.

Test scores would be undoubtedly higher. The problem is test scores are only one of a set of movable markers. As soon as "we" think the marker is set firmly, "they" propose another. As in "socialization." As in "challenging" the ideas of the parents.

Read the article:"The children, however, have tested above their grade levels - by as much as two years."
