Summary

Horizon School is a public elementary school in Washington, Utah, serving 626 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in the growing Washington area. The school is part of Washington District and ranks 77th out of 563 Utah schools, placing it in the 86th percentile statewide and earning four stars for 2025–2026.

Academically, Horizon School is consistently one of the stronger schools nearby. Its students outperform district and state averages in every reported 2025–2026 subject and grade. Mathematics is the clearest strength: proficiency reaches 70% in fourth grade and 67.9% in fifth grade, while fifth-grade science reaches 67.3%. The school’s performance is generally stronger than Riverside School and substantially higher than Sandstone School, Panorama School, and Washington School. However, Crimson View School is a clear local leader, ranking in the 97th percentile and exceeding Horizon in nearly every tested area. Third grade, especially mathematics, appears to be a useful opportunity for continued improvement.

The most important concern is attendance. Chronic absenteeism was 24.8% in 2024–2025, higher than both the district’s 15.4% and Utah’s 23.8%, although lower than rates at several lower-ranked nearby schools. Horizon School serves a moderately diverse economic population, with a 22.04% free/reduced-price lunch rate, and its student-to-teacher ratio was 21.5 to 1. Overall, it is a strong, dependable school with notable strengths in upper-grade mathematics and science, while attendance and third-grade performance are the clearest areas to watch.
