Summary:
Horizon Science Academy Elementary School is the sole elementary school located in this area, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 377 students. The school has faced academic challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking declining from 1106 out of 1558 Ohio elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 1198 out of 1596 in 2022-2023. It is currently rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Horizon Science Academy Elementary School struggles with low student test scores, with proficiency rates below the state average across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate was 35% compared to the state average of 63.4%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.4%, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.7, which could be an asset if leveraged effectively. However, the school's high percentage of students (94.16%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the student population faces significant economic disadvantages, which may contribute to the school's struggles. To address these issues, Horizon Science Academy Elementary School will likely need to implement comprehensive improvement strategies, including targeted interventions and increased support for students and families.
