This is our 2nd year at Homer school. We came from S. Sioux City Public school. We are very impressed with the Homer school and are completely satisfied with our choice to have our children attend school at Homer. The teachers are all very personable and informative. The athletic programs and coaches are fair and professional. The academics are top notch and our kids are being challenged daily. We love the programs and plays offered at Homer. We are absolutely confident that our children are getting the best possible education.
