Homer High School is just like any other high school, sports are an important part of the school's culture and mostly everything revolves around that. Not many activities to participate in besides sports and it didn't prepare you well for college unless you took courses meant specifically to do so. Academics were okay, but to get the most out of them you had to have taken advanced/honors courses. The worst thing about the school was the overall diversity.

Excellent school, went there my entire school career. Bullies are not a problem and are dealt with. Even so most of the time it's part of life and growing up, it shapes who we are as adults. Homer is a great school and if I lived in the area I would send my son.
