It's not consistent across the board, and you've only got one chance at it so you never know which path will be the right one until the one you choose goes horribly wrong. There are examples of every possible outcome, from homeschooled and outgoing to public schooled and introverted. Statistics must be employed here. It has to be graded on a bell curve. Corner cases tossed aside. What's under the "bell" is what's important.
Of course its not consistent. That's why I said there is no pat answer. And a bell curve is just a stat. It's doesn't tell the whole story. Too many factors to consider to make that kind of data truly useful. Questions like "are the families looked at close to one another?" would have to be considered. I'm willing to bet that the kids in the close families do well no matter how they were raised.
