Summary

New Horizons Elementary School in Wellington, FL, serves 745 students in grades PK through 7 and is part of the Palm Beach school district, with 37.85% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch in the 2024-2025 school year.

New Horizons Elementary has experienced a significant decline in recent years, dropping from a 3-star rating and the 67th percentile in 2021-2022 to a 2-star rating and the 45th percentile in 2025-2026. This downward trend is concerning, especially when compared to nearby schools like Equestrian Trails Elementary and Binks Forest Elementary, which consistently rank in the 94th to 98th percentile. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.2%, significantly above the district average of 23.4% and much higher than top-performing neighbors like Panther Run Elementary (12.7%) and Western Academy Charter School (15.2%).

A critical academic red flag is the severe weakness in 4th-grade math, with only 34% proficiency in 2025-2026 compared to the district average of 60% and state average of 65%. Nearby schools like Cypress Trails Elementary (64%) and Renaissance Charter School At Wellington (51%) far outperform New Horizons in this area. Interestingly, the school spends more per student ($16,071) than many higher-performing neighbors, such as Binks Forest ($13,311) and Panther Run ($14,540), suggesting resources are not effectively translating into student outcomes. While English Language Arts scores are closer to average, math instruction—especially in lower grades—needs urgent reform to reverse the school's downward trajectory.
