Hominy

Hominy has four schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12: Hominy Early Childhood Center (PK–K), Horace Mann Elementary School (grades 1–5), Hominy Middle School (grades 6–8), and Hominy High School (grades 9–12); together they enroll 522 students. The clearest area-wide concern is that most reported 2025–26 proficiency results fall below state levels: 10 of 11 school-subject results are below their supplied state figures, with middle-school science the one exception.

Each tested school has a different bright spot. Hominy High School leads all-grades ELA at 24%, compared with 13% at the middle school and 10% at Horace Mann, though it remains 2 points below the state. Horace Mann leads all-grades math at 16%, versus 10% at each of the other schools reporting results; it is 9 points below the state. Hominy Middle stands out in science: 34% is 4 points above the state and far higher than Horace Mann’s 9% and the high school’s 7%. The high school also has a strong graduation rate—90%, compared with 78% statewide—despite larger gaps in math, science, and U.S. History.

Recent results improved on average, but gains were uneven: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, the three tested schools’ unweighted averages rose 7 points in ELA, 6 in math, and 5 in science. The middle school’s science score rose 17 points to 34%, while Horace Mann’s science score fell 9 points to 9%; the high school’s reported ELA, math, and science results rose from 0% to 24%, 10%, and 7%. SchoolDigger ranks Horace Mann at the 11th percentile, the high school at the 12th, and the middle school at the 16th for 2025–26. As context, 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 86% at Horace Mann and the middle school, and 74% at the high school; student–teacher ratios ranged from 12.8 at the high school to 20.0 at the middle school. These figures describe different school contexts, not causes of results.
