Summary

Horizon Elementary School serves 436 students in pre-K through grade 6 in Hanover Park and is part of School District U-46, which SchoolDigger ranks in the 18th percentile statewide with 1 star. Horizon’s results vary by subject and grade: its overall math performance is slightly above the state, but ELA is well below it, and grades 4–5 are weaker than grade 6 math. The most important takeaway is that schoolwide averages conceal sharply different grade-level results.

Math is Horizon’s clearest strength compared with its district and the state: all-grades proficiency is 41%, versus 32% in U-46 and 40% statewide. ELA is 47%—about the same as the district’s 46%, but below the state’s 56% and the nearby-school average of 53%. Horizon ranks sixth among the 11 schools in the nearby comparison for both ELA and math; its math is close to the nearby average, while its ELA falls further behind. Grade 6 math stands out at 51%, 15 points above the state and 22 above the district; Horizon ranks third among five nearby schools reporting that grade. By contrast, grade 5 math is 28%, compared with 36% statewide, and grade 4 math is 33%, compared with 42% statewide. Grade 5 science is 43%, below the state’s 48% and nearby average of 45%.

Scores have improved over three years: all-grades ELA rose 15 percentage points and math rose 16, though SchoolDigger’s overall rating fell from the 51st percentile in 2024–2025 to the 36th in 2025–2026; the current rating is 2 stars. Context includes a 12.4 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, below the nearby-school average of 13.2, and 48% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, compared with a 52% nearby-school average. SchoolDigger’s 2024–2025 statewide ranking for how well Horizon serves Asian students was at the 12th percentile, well below the school’s overall 51st percentile. Its ranking for how well it serves English Language Learner students fell from the 88th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 59th in 2024–2025.
