Summary:
Homer Community Schools has only one high school, Homer High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has remained in the bottom half of Nebraska high schools over the past three years, with a rating of 1 or 2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.
While Homer High School outperforms the state average in some subject areas, such as ACT/English Language Arts, ACT/Science, and NSCAS/Science for 8th grade, it struggles in others, particularly in NSCAS/English Language Arts for 7th grade and NSCAS/Mathematics for 7th and 8th grades. The school's graduation rate of 88.1% is higher than the state average, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% is also higher than the desired target of 10% or less.
With a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (40.31%) and higher-than-average spending per student ($19,866), Homer Community Schools may face challenges related to socioeconomic factors that can impact student achievement. The school's lower student-teacher ratio of 11.5 to 1 suggests that resources are being allocated to support the educational needs of the students.
