Summary

Horizon Elementary School is a public elementary school in Sunrise, Florida, serving 587 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Broward County School District, which is ranked 25th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Horizon Elementary faces some challenges, particularly with high chronic absenteeism rates that are significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores are also mixed, with lower-than-average proficiency in English Language Arts across all grade levels, but higher math scores in 3rd and 4th grades. Interestingly, when compared to nearby schools like Central Park Elementary and Franklin Academy Sunrise, Horizon Elementary has lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic factors and academic performance.

Despite these challenges, Horizon Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the state average, which could provide opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. The school's ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 842 out of 2,064 Florida elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 1,547 out of 2,247 in 2020-2021, indicating a need for consistent improvement. Overall, Horizon Elementary faces some unique challenges, but with the right strategies and support, the school has the potential to enhance the educational experience for its students.
