Summary

Horizon Elementary School is a PK–5 school at 10060 Brummitt Rd in Granger, Indiana, serving 679 students — the largest enrollment in its local comparison group — as part of the Penn-Harris-Madison School Corp, one of Indiana's top-ranked districts.

Academically, Horizon Elementary School is a long-running high performer rather than a recent riser: it has earned 5 stars every year on record, ranking between 15th and 62nd out of roughly 1,000+ Indiana elementary schools, and placing 62nd of 1,015 (94th percentile) in 2025–2026. Math is the standout — 73.96% of students proficient, about 13 points above its own district and roughly 22 points above the state. Science and social studies are also solidly above district, and chronic absenteeism is just 3.8%, compared with 8.4% for the district and 16.7% statewide. Only two schools in town, Prairie Vista Elementary School and Northpoint Elementary School, clearly outperform it; Horizon still beats Bittersweet Elementary School, Elsie Rogers Elementary School and Moran Elementary School in math, and it far outpaces the nearby Elkhart Community Schools buildings, including Cleveland Elementary School just 1.71 miles away.

The one area to watch is reading. Horizon's all-grade English Language Arts proficiency is 62.60%, slightly below its district (63.48%) — the only core subject where that happens. ELA has slipped from about 9 points above district in 2022–23 to just under it now, while math and science have held steady, so this looks reading-specific rather than a broad decline. Fourth-grade ELA (55.26%) is the single result below district, whereas the fifth-grade class is the school's strongest across the board. Families comparing options should know that Mary Frank Harris Elementary School edges Horizon in ELA with similar poverty levels and a larger class size. Overall: excellent, consistent, low-poverty, well-attended — with reading as the clear growth target.
