H.O.M.E. Program

Summary:

The H.O.M.E. Program is an alternative public school in Renton, Washington, serving 137 students from kindergarten through 12th grade. It is part of the Renton School District, which is ranked 139 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The H.O.M.E. Program consistently outperforms the Renton School District and the state of Washington in standardized test scores, with 72.5% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 53.85% in math, and 100% in science. However, the school's student population is predominantly White, with lower percentages of African American, Hispanic, and Asian students compared to nearby alternative schools like Out of District Facility and Renton Academy. Additionally, the H.O.M.E. Program serves a more economically advantaged population, with only 24.09% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 47.06% at Out of District Facility and 62.07% at Renton Academy.

The H.O.M.E. Program's higher per-student spending of $14,711, compared to the Renton School District's average of $13,334, may contribute to its academic success. However, the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio of 28.8 may present challenges in providing personalized attention and support to each student. As the school continues to excel academically, it may need to explore ways to attract and support a more diverse student population and ensure that its resources are allocated effectively to meet the needs of all learners.

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.
