Public, Alternative Grades K-12

Summary

HomeWorks is an alternative public school located in Cheney, Washington, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 128 students. The school is part of the Cheney School District, which is ranked 113 out of 247 districts in Washington and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

HomeWorks has a higher percentage of white students (82.81%) compared to the state average (52.63%) and the Cheney School District (73.95% in 2021-2022). The school also has a lower percentage of Hispanic students (10.16%) compared to the state (16.28% in 2021-2022) and the district (16.28% in 2021-2022). However, HomeWorks' test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, with proficiency rates in SBAC/English Language Arts (42.42%) and SBAC/Math (20.59%) for all grades significantly lower than the district (45.24% and 34.97%) and the state (52.63% and 41.68%) averages. Additionally, HomeWorks has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (53.12% in 2022-2023) and a significantly higher student-teacher ratio (75.2 in 2022-2023) compared to the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby alternative schools, such as Reardan-Edwall School District Options' Program and Spokane Virtual Academy, HomeWorks has a higher percentage of white students and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, these nearby schools generally outperform HomeWorks in terms of test scores and other academic metrics. The school's racial makeup and declining enrollment trends also warrant further investigation, as the percentage of Hispanic students has decreased from 16.28% in 2021-2022 to 10.16% in 2022-2023, while the percentage of white students has increased from 73.95% to 82.81% during the same period.
