at a certain middle school, every home room teacher is assigned 28 students. there are 3 teachers that do not have a homeroom. is the number of students at this school proportional to the number of teachers?

No.

The relation is not proportional unless both part of the relation are zero at the same time. If you have zero home rooms (zero students), you still have 3 teachers.
