Homan Elementary

Summary:

Homan Elementary is a public elementary school in Fresno, California, serving 552 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Fresno Unified School District, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Homan Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (41.8% in 2022-2023) and consistently low academic performance compared to the district and state averages. In 2023-2024, only 27.78% of Homan students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 27.34% were proficient in Mathematics, lagging behind the Fresno Unified and California averages. The school also struggles to support its diverse student population, with lower rankings for subgroups like Asian students and English Language Learners.

While Homan Elementary's performance is generally lower than nearby schools like Fremont Elementary, Addams Elementary, and Roeding Elementary, the nearby Morris E. Dailey Charter Elementary significantly outperforms Homan and the district in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The high chronic absenteeism rates at Homan appear to be closely linked to its lower academic performance, and the school's struggles are reflective of the challenges many high-poverty schools face. However, the data suggests there may be opportunities for improvement if the school can address these issues and learn from the successes of nearby high-performing schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
