Summary

Horizon School is an elementary school in Washington, Utah, serving grades PK-5 with 579 students. It is part of the Washington District, which is ranked 37 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Horizon School has a strong performance history, ranking as high as 25th out of 551 Utah elementary schools in the 2021-2022 school year and consistently earning 4-5 stars from SchoolDigger.

Horizon School consistently outperforms the Washington District and the state of Utah in standardized test scores across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 72.9% of 3rd graders at Horizon School were proficient or better in RISE Mathematics, compared to 49.8% for the district and 48.6% for the state. However, the school has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.2% to 25.2% in recent years, which is an area for potential improvement. Additionally, Horizon School has a relatively low percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 21.48% to 25.56% in recent years, compared to some nearby schools with much higher rates.

While Horizon School's overall performance is impressive, the data suggests potential equity concerns. The school's performance outpaces many nearby schools in the Washington District, such as South Mesa Elementary, Crimson View School, and Riverside School. However, schools with higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, such as Sandstone School and Washington School, lag behind in academic achievement.
