In my experience s/less/more/ .
I was homeschooled for several years, and have known a variety of other homeschooled people.
For me personally, I was impacted in my ability to socialize with people in my own group, and did not develop any rebellious tendencies until I re-entered public school and realized there were other options.
For some homeschooled people I know, they can't read at above a first grade level.
Others can read/write at a higher than average level, may be average or better at math, and have little capability to interact with others.
Still others are some of the smartest, most well rounded people I know.
Unfortunately, most homeschooled people in my experience sit somewhere between the first and second groups - which then means that gatherings of home-schooled families will also tend that direction.
