Summary:
Zip code 66439 has one listed elementary school, Horton Elementary, serving PK–4 and enrolling 226 students; it is in the South Brown County district. The most notable concern in the latest results is fourth-grade math: 26% of students met the proficiency benchmark, compared with 44% statewide, a 19-point gap.
Because Horton Elementary is the only school in the list, it is both the highest- and lowest-scoring school here, but there are no local peers for a meaningful school-to-school comparison. In 2025–26, its all-grades ELA result was 41%, 5 points below the state’s 46%; math was 31%, 10 points below the state’s 41%. The grade-level results show that the gaps vary: fourth-grade ELA was 38% versus 50% statewide, while third-grade math was 38% versus 43%.
The two subjects moved in different directions: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, Horton Elementary’s ELA result rose 4 points, and its gap with the state narrowed from 7 to 5 points; math fell 6 points as the state result rose 2, widening Horton’s gap from 1 to 10 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking also declined, from 239th of 653 schools and 3 stars in 2023–24 to 503rd of 657 and 1 star in 2025–26. Other context: the student-teacher ratio was 13.6, and 60% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch. Chronic absenteeism was 22%, between the district’s 28% and the state’s 18%. These figures describe the school; they do not explain its results.
