Summary

Blue Horizons Elementary School is a public school in Buckeye, Arizona, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 940 students. The school is part of the Liberty Elementary District, which is ranked 181 out of 289 districts in the state.

Blue Horizons Elementary School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, with performance on state assessments generally below the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in 5th grade Science (20%), 3rd grade English Language Arts (25%), and 5th grade Math (22%) were significantly lower than the district (31%, 38%, and 31%) and state (34%, 36%, and 37%) averages. The school also struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, with particularly low rankings for Female, Male, Hispanic, and Special Education students.

Interestingly, the nearby Las Brisas Academy and Freedom Elementary School, both within the Liberty Elementary District, generally outperform Blue Horizons Elementary School on academic measures. However, Blue Horizons performs better than some schools in the Buckeye Elementary District, such as Inca Elementary and Sundance Elementary, which have lower academic achievement across the board.
