Summary

Homan Elementary School is a PK–4 school in Schererville, Indiana, serving 472 students as part of the Lake Central School Corporation, one of Indiana's top-rated districts. In 2025–26 it ranked 140th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools — the 86th percentile and a 4-star rating — and it has stayed above average for a decade, never dropping below the 73rd percentile. Among its four same-district peers — George Bibich Elementary School, Kolling Elementary School, Peifer Elementary School, and James H Watson Elementary School — Homan posted the best state rank along with the highest reading and science proficiency, even though it serves the highest-poverty student body of that group (37.71% qualifying for free/reduced lunch, versus 14.93% at Kolling and 21.76% at Bibich).

Reading and science are Homan's strengths. All-grade ELA proficiency was 62.58% and science 62.07%, both at the top of its district peer group and roughly 20 points above state figures at each tested grade. Math (65.64%) is solid but second locally — Bibich (71.70%) and Kolling (70.68%) score higher — though Homan still beats the district math average by more than 9 points. The school is also the best-resourced in its comparison group: $15,642 per pupil in 2023–24 and a 13.4 student–teacher ratio, the lowest among district peers and far below Southridge Elementary School (22.5) or Allen J Warren Elementary School (21.2) in neighboring Highland.

The clearest concern is 3rd grade math: 59.21% proficiency is 11.6 points below the district and the lowest of the five Lake Central schools, while 4th grade math (71.26%) beats the district — a cohort-level pattern worth watching. Chronic absenteeism, at 13.0%, is the highest among district peers, but it improved roughly 3.8 points in a year and remains below both district and state averages. Overall, test trends are rising and Homan's rank has recovered from its 2023–24 dip.
