Summary:
The 68030 zip code is home to two schools, Homer Elementary School and Homer High School, both part of the Homer Community Schools district. The district is ranked 60 out of 115 in Nebraska and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Homer Elementary School stands out with consistently high performance in NSCAS/English Language Arts and NSCAS/Mathematics, with proficiency rates above the state average. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% and high spending per student at $17,062, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. In contrast, Homer High School impresses with an 87.9% four-year graduation rate and strong performance in NSCAS/Science for 8th grade, with 83% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average.
Both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 46.25% for the elementary school and 47.12% for the high school. This suggests a student population with a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged families, which can impact academic performance and other school-related factors. However, the higher-than-average spending levels at both schools, $17,062 per student at the elementary school and $20,465 per student at the high school, may contribute to the availability of resources and support for students.
