Summary

Horizon School is a K–6 elementary school serving 664 students in Murray, Utah, in the Murray District, and it is the largest of the nearby elementary schools considered.

Horizon is a middle-performing school statewide, ranking at the 48th percentile in 2025–2026 with a two-star rating. Its results are mixed by grade and subject: fourth- and fifth-grade English Language Arts (ELA) were above state results, while sixth-grade ELA was lower at 36.6%. Science is the school’s clearest strength, especially sixth grade, where 64.5% of students were proficient—above both the district and state. Mathematics is less consistent, with fourth grade near the state level but fifth and sixth grade below it. The school’s statewide ranking has declined from the 68th percentile in 2022–2023, making sixth-grade ELA and mathematics, along with fifth-grade mathematics and science, important improvement areas.

Compared with nearby schools, Horizon generally performs better than Liberty School and Parkside School, but trails stronger schools such as Viewmont School, Mcmillan School, and Grant School. Chronic absenteeism was 23.3% in 2024–2025, close to district and state averages and a substantial improvement from 39.0% in 2021–2022, although it remains higher than at Grant, Mcmillan, and Viewmont. Half of Horizon’s students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, more than at those higher-ranked schools, providing important context for comparisons. Overall, Horizon offers credible strengths—particularly in science and improving attendance—but its current profile is uneven and its recent ranking trend warrants attention.
