Summary

Horizon School is a public upper-elementary school at 458 Lake St in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, serving 647 students in grades 3–5 as the upper half of the Pewaukee School District's split elementary setup, alongside Pewaukee Lake Elementary (PK–2) just 0.11 miles away.

Horizon is one of Wisconsin's top elementary schools. For 2025‑26 it ranked 85th of 1,039 elementary schools statewide (92nd percentile, 5 stars), and its district ranks 26th of 432 districts. This is not a one-year spike: from 2015‑16 through 2018‑19 the school sat in the 76th–83rd percentile, and since 2020‑21 it has held the 88th–93rd percentile, mostly at 5 stars. In 2025‑26, 72–76% of students were proficient in English language arts across grades 3–5 and 70.5–79.3% in math, against roughly 52–55% statewide; social studies proficiency was 87.5% versus 65.5% statewide. Among nearby schools, South Elementary (also grades 3–5) ranks 85th percentile, while Maple Avenue Elementary (96th), Meadowbrook Elementary (95th) and Richmond Elementary (95th) rank higher, and Hawthorne Elementary (22nd) and Lowell Elementary (37th) trail the group.

Context matters here. Chronic absenteeism was 5.5% in 2024‑25, well below the district's 7.9% and the state's 17.3%, and 11.28% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Horizon spends $12,272 per student — the lowest in its comparison group apart from the virtual eAchieve Elementary — with a 15.4:1 student–teacher ratio that is among the largest locally. English language learner students have ranked at the 97th percentile three times running, and special education students reached the 93rd percentile in 2024‑25. Two watch items: grade 5 math proficiency has fallen four straight years (74.5% to 70.51%, still about 19 points above the state), and low-income students dropped to a 2-star, 47th-percentile rating in 2024‑25 before recovering to 67th in 2025‑26 — swings typical of a small group.
