Summary:
The Horizon Montessori Public Schools district in Texas operates 4 elementary schools, all of which focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. The schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade and are located in the Pearland area. While the schools share a common educational approach, the analysis reveals significant variations in their academic performance and student demographics.
Among the standout schools, Horizon Montessori - Stem Academy and Horizon Montessori III - Stem Academy emerge as the top performers. These schools boast higher statewide rankings, better student-teacher ratios, and stronger reading and math proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Horizon Montessori II - Stem Academy lags behind, with lower academic outcomes across multiple grade levels.
The analysis also suggests a potential relationship between student demographics and academic performance. Schools with higher percentages of Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students, such as Horizon Montessori - Stem Academy and Horizon Montessori II - Stem Academy, tend to have lower proficiency rates. Conversely, Horizon Montessori Pearland - Stem Academy, with a more diverse student population, performs better academically. The findings suggest that the Horizon Montessori Public Schools district may need to explore strategies to address these achievement gaps and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
