Homer Community Schools are the Best! We have had our three sons there for 9years and wish we would have done it sooner! They acutally have to bring two brand new huge busses to Caring Community Church on Irwin Ave. right here in Albion across from St. Johns. Don't build up your parental regret and utilize school of choice, as soon as you do you'll see the difference in what a good well rounded k-12 educational program!

This is a great school with many friendly teachers and students. We have an outstanding band and baseball team. This school has many oppertunities to offer. There are many fun electives to take and you learn a lot since there are small classes in this small school. You pretty much know everybody and it is easy to get along with anybody there. We are like a small family there.

I have went to Homer Community Schools all of my life. It is honestly the Best School I know! Great People who try to help you, friendly staff and students, and wonderful oppertunities. I love it! There is Something for everyone. (As far as Smaller Schools are Concerned). Though I wish they would stop talking about their Awesome Baseball team.

About the tests

In 2012-2013 Michigan used the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in math, reading and writing; in grades 5 and 8 in science; and in grades 6 and 9 in social studies. The MEAP is a standards-based test, which measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Michigan. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.

Beginning in the 2011-2012 school year, the Michigan State Board of Education implemented new definitions of what it means to be proficient on the MEAP test. The new standards for proficiency are higher than in previous years and the percent of students earning a proficient score is expected to be lower as a result of this change.
