Homer Central School District

Summary:

The Homer Central School District in New York consists of 4 schools serving grades K-12: 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. Overall, the district demonstrates a strong academic foundation, with the Homer Senior High School and Homer Junior High School standing out as top performers in the region.

The Homer Senior High School consistently ranks in the top 30% of New York high schools, with strong academic performance, particularly in Regents/Common Core exams. However, the school faces a challenge with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, an area the district should address. In contrast, the Homer Junior High School impresses with its high proficiency rates in 8th-grade math and science, outperforming the district and state averages.

While the schools within the Homer Central School District generally perform at a similar level, the district should continue to monitor and address areas for improvement, such as equitable resource allocation and targeted support for economically disadvantaged students, who make up a significant portion of the student population across the district.
