GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

With Homer Center being a small school, all of the teachers know the students personally, which helps them to connect with everyone, and helped me connect with them. However, because it's a small school, there are favorites in sports and classes, and those students are put on a pedestal. If they do something against the code of conduct, it gets brushed aside, but if anyone else does it, they get punished.

At this school the administration such as the guidance counselor are very willing to help you out and they want to see you strive and succeed. Something I dislike or would change are the way people act. The kids at the school are often immature and disrespectful and I would love to see improvement in that

I like the school because the classes are fun, but you still learn from them. The school really loves sports and many of the students joined a sport for this coming year. Something I would like to see a change is the control other the students because the students do not respect the adults at the school and they some are so rude to the other students. I would also like to see the teachers discipline the students more.

I graduated this school with no effort because the emphasis here is on sports rather than academics. All of the funding is leaving any area that doesn't have to do with sports. We had 20 year old French books. I learned nothing in the way of a work ethic because everything was so easy, and when I en...
