Homeschool vs public school in Nebraska

Homeschooling is legal in Nebraska, but families generally do it by operating an exempt private school in the home and filing the required forms.

Moderate. Families appear to have real day-to-day flexibility, but the exempt school must provide a sequential program aimed at basic skills in language arts, math, science, social studies, and health.

Keep copies of your filed forms, the child's birth certificate or other accepted identity-and-age proof, attendance records, course plans, and samples of student work. The statute excerpt also says exempt schools must report attendance, and good high school records are important later.
