Summary

New Horizon Magnet School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Nampa, Idaho, part of the Nampa School District, which is ranked 80 out of 96 districts in the state. With 655 students, New Horizon Magnet School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Idaho elementary schools over the past decade, currently ranked 289 out of 337 schools with a 1-star rating.

The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 15.0% to 23.6% over the past few years, well above the state average and nearby schools like Centennial Elementary (15.0%) and Snake River Elementary (15.0%). Additionally, New Horizon Magnet School's test scores are consistently below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in ISAT Math (33.3%) and ISAT English Language Arts (36.5%) well below the state averages of 43.1% and 53.9%, respectively. The school also has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 69.62% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Reagan Elementary (40.52%).

Despite its proximity to higher-performing schools, such as Legacy Charter School, which is 2.74 miles away and has consistently high test scores and a 5-star rating, New Horizon Magnet School has struggled to improve its performance over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from 133 out of 171 in 2018-2019 to 289 out of 337 in 2024-2025. Addressing the school's challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve the educational experiences and outcomes for its students.
