Summary

Horizon Honors Elementary School serves 797 students in grades K–6 in Phoenix, alongside nearby schools that are mostly K–5. Its clearest advantage is English language arts (ELA): 76% of students were proficient in 2025–26, 35 percentage points above Arizona’s 41% and the highest result among the 11 schools compared.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools, while math is a relative soft spot. ELA proficiency is 29 points above the nearby-school average of 47% and matches the 76% reported for the Horizon Community Learning Center Inc. Math proficiency is 54%—21 points above the state’s 33% and equal to the district figure—but three nearby schools score higher, making Horizon fourth among the 11; the nearby average is 44%. Fifth-grade science is another standout: Horizon’s 63% in 2024–25 matches its district, exceeds the state’s 34% by 29 points, and is 26 points above the nearby average of 37%. It is the highest result among the 11 nearby schools with science data.

Science results have fluctuated rather than risen steadily: fifth-grade proficiency went from 66% in 2022–23 to 58% in 2023–24, then recovered to 63% in 2024–25, still 3 points below its starting level. SchoolDigger gives Horizon 4 stars and an 86th-percentile statewide ranking in 2025–26, second-highest among nearby schools with a ranking; its percentile was 92 in 2020–21. The student-teacher ratio is 17.7:1, above the nearby average of 15 and second-highest in the group. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for Special Education Students fell from the 88th percentile in 2020–21 to 32 in 2021–22, then rose to 63 in 2022–23; for African American Students, it rose from 82 to 89, then fell to 58. Group counts and free/reduced-lunch rates are unavailable, so the subgroup shifts need cautious interpretation and income context cannot be compared.
