Homer Intermediate School

Summary:

Homer Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Homer Central School District in Homer, NY. The school has 379 students and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, with the district as a whole also rated 2 stars and ranked 474 out of 865 in New York.

Homer Intermediate School faces several challenges, including consistently low test scores, with proficiency rates below state averages across all grade levels and subjects. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with multi-racial students performing relatively well but white students and students with disabilities struggling, ranking in the bottom quarter of the state. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Tully Elementary and Groton Elementary, Homer Intermediate School generally performs worse on state assessments.

The school's lower per-student spending compared to some nearby schools may be a contributing factor to its relatively poor academic performance, but other factors, such as student demographics and school leadership, likely also play a role. Homer Intermediate School's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting that the school's performance is not keeping pace with other schools in the state. Addressing these challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and a focus on equity and inclusion.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
