Summary

Homer High School is a public high school serving 249 students in grades 9-12 in Homer, Louisiana, which is part of the Claiborne Parish School District. Unfortunately, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state averages, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Louisiana high schools over the past decade.

Specifically, Homer High School's performance for key student subgroups, such as African American students, Special Education students, and low-income students, is particularly concerning, with these groups ranking in the bottom 25-30% of Louisiana high schools. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are also significantly lower than the Claiborne Parish and Louisiana averages across all subject areas and grade levels. Additionally, the school has experienced fluctuating dropout rates and consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, which are well above the state average.

When comparing Homer High School to nearby schools, such as Arcadia High School and Haynesville Junior/Senior High School, Homer High School consistently underperforms, with lower statewide rankings, poorer test scores, and higher chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes at Homer High School.
