As a student attending Homer-Center, I can say that this is one of the best communities that I have seen. From the way the students interact to the teachers and even the administration, you can tell that they have a connection. I moved to this school district in 6th grade and was immediately accepted into the community the formed.

I am a freshman at Homer Center! The whole staff is very kind and would do anything to help you. My only complaint is that I wish our school offered more AP classes and prepared their students for college.

I would say H-C is a pretty good school. The only complaint i have is that if you know the faculty through your family, you don't get in trouble. Students who wear the appropriate clothing gets dress coded while kids who wear hardly anything don't. I would say there is a bias aspect in that school. Overall, some of the teachers are extremely nice and they try to help you as much a possible.

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...
