In my experience it isn’t. I guess till either of us find studies we’re at an impass.
Edit:
In addition, parents of homeschooled students were asked to identify the single most important reason to homeschool their child in 2019. The most common was a concern about school environment, such as safety, drugs, or negative peer pressure (25 percent). Fifteen percent of homeschooled students had parents who reported that the most important reason was a dissatisfaction with the academic instruction at other schools. Thirteen percent had parents who reported that the most important reason was a desire to provide religious instruction.
I wonder how much of the 15% who were dissatisfied with the academic instruction were dissatisfied due to it not having religious instruction, but didn’t want to indicate it outright by choosing the specific choice for that.
Do you count safety drugs and negative peer pressure as religious? I was counting that and academic rigor as the schools being bad. And religious reasons I was counting as religious.
Problems with schools really come down to a choice by the middle class. That choice was that they wanted to keep their money rather than live in a good society. Schools have suffered as a result. This is by choice, not by design.

You gave yourself as an example affirming what I said but suddenly we’re at an impasse? This isn’t adding up.
Found it after writing the comment originally.

Sure. But that doesn’t change that people homeschool because the schools are bad. I absolutely agree that schools should be better.
