Among the standout schools in Homer, Homer Community High School ranks in the top 40% of Michigan high schools and has a 3-star rating, indicating above-average performance. The school boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82.8% and outperforms the state average in 11th-grade M-Step Science and Social Studies assessments. Similarly, Homer Middle School ranks in the top 35% of Michigan middle schools and also has a 3-star rating, with strong performance in several 5th and 8th-grade M-Step assessments.

However, not all schools in Homer are performing at the same level. Lillian Fletcher Elementary School has 3rd and 4th-grade M-Step scores in English Language Arts and Math that are below the state averages. Additionally, Homer Community High School struggles with its 11th-grade SAT Math scores, which are significantly lower than the state average. Across all three schools, high chronic absenteeism rates and relatively high percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients present challenges that the district will need to address to improve student outcomes.
