Middle Schools in Homer Central School District

Summary:

The Homer Central School District in New York has only one middle school, Homer Junior High School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 585th out of 1,500 New York middle schools in 2022-2023 to 834th out of 1,500 in 2024-2025.

While the school's academic performance on state assessments is mixed, with varying proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math across grade levels, it stands out in specific areas. Homer Junior High School has exceptional results on the Regents Algebra I exam, with 100% proficiency in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's 8th-grade Science proficiency rate is notably high at 63.27% in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 43.5%.

The Homer Central School District serves a student population with a significant proportion of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 44.07% in 2023-2024. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 8.3 to 1 suggests that students may have access to more individualized attention and support from teachers, which could be a valuable asset in addressing the needs of the student population.
