Summary

Horizon Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Hanover Park, Illinois, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 413 students. The school is part of the School District U-46, which is ranked 594 out of 811 school districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Horizon Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in IAR/English Language Arts and IAR/Mathematics, is generally lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rate in IAR/English Language Arts for all grades was 43.8%, compared to the district's 43.1% and the state's 53.1%. Similarly, the school's proficiency rate in IAR/Mathematics for all grades was 38.8%, compared to the district's 31.5% and the state's 38.5%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Asian students and male students, who rank in the bottom quartile of Illinois elementary schools in their respective categories.

Horizon Elementary School also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.9% to 34.9% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $14,784 to $18,420 over the past few years, which is higher than the state and district averages, but this does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Nearby Prairieview Elementary School and Laurel Hill Elementary School, as well as schools in other districts, such as Hanover Highlands Elementary School and Centennial School, tend to have higher academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism rates.
