Summary

Horizon Elementary School in Sunrise, FL, is a public PK-5 school serving 505 students within the Broward School District, and it is currently experiencing a strong academic resurgence, climbing to a 3-star rating and the 65th percentile statewide after recent years in the 37th percentile.

The school’s most impressive strength is its consistent, high math performance. In the 2025-2026 school year, Horizon’s math proficiency scores were above the district average in every grade level—74% in 3rd grade, 74% in 4th grade, and 75% in 5th grade. This is a unique achievement in the area; nearby schools like Village Elementary (48th percentile) and Banyan Elementary (23rd percentile) are trending downward. Horizon’s success is supported by a very favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.4:1 and high per-student spending of $15,959, which is significantly more than high-performing peers like Central Park Elementary ($11,473) and Franklin Academy Sunrise ($9,404). This investment in smaller class sizes appears to be a key driver of the school’s turnaround.

Despite these gains, Horizon faces two clear challenges. The school has a persistent chronic absenteeism rate of 37.5%, the highest among its nearby peers, though it has improved from a peak of 43.4%. Additionally, while math is a standout, English Language Arts (ELA) scores are inconsistent, with 3rd grade ELA at 48% (well below the district’s 64%) and 5th grade ELA at 60%. Addressing early-grade reading and absenteeism will be crucial for Horizon to continue its upward trajectory and potentially become a top-tier school in the Sunrise area.
