Summary

Homer Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Homer Central School District in Homer, New York. With 409 students, the school is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, and the district as a whole is ranked 555 out of 874 school districts in New York, also with a 2-star rating.

Homer Intermediate School's performance on state assessments is generally below the state average across grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math around 40-50% compared to the state averages of 54-60%. The school's ranking has declined from 1338 out of 2352 schools in 2014-2015 to 1840 out of 2445 schools in 2024-2025. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and multi-racial students performing better than the school's overall average, while Hispanic and special education students perform significantly worse.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools in the region, Tully Elementary School and Groton Elementary School both have higher proficiency rates and statewide rankings than Homer Intermediate School. The school's relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the performance gaps between different student subgroups suggest that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's overall academic performance, and the school may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies and resource allocation to improve student achievement.
