Summary

Lillian Fletcher Elementary School in Homer, MI, serves 319 students in Kindergarten through 4th grade as part of the Homer Community School District, a small, rural district where about two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

When parents look at test scores, Lillian Fletcher's results are lower than the state average and most nearby elementary schools. For example, only about 25% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, compared to the state average of 43%. The school's overall ranking places it in the bottom third of Michigan elementary schools. In contrast, schools like Walters Elementary and Hughes Elementary in the nearby Marshall Public Schools district rank in the top quartile statewide. Even schools with similar levels of economic need, such as Williams Elementary in Jonesville Community Schools, outperform Lillian Fletcher. The school's strongest area is 4th-grade English Language Arts, where proficiency has held steady around 34%—still below the state average but more stable than math scores.

There is some encouraging news. Chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 35% in 2021-2022 to 19% in 2024-2025, which is now better than the state average and many nearby schools. This suggests improved student engagement. However, the school spends about $15,279 per student—more than higher-performing neighbors like HanoverHorton Elementary School ($13,209) and Parma Elementary School ($14,472)—yet results remain low. For parents, this suggests the challenge isn't a lack of funding but rather how resources are used to support students with high economic need. While the school faces real academic hurdles, its improving attendance and stable 4th-grade reading scores offer areas of hope worth watching.
