Summary

Horizon Elementary is a public elementary school located in Plymouth, Wisconsin, serving grades PK-4 with a student population of 258. It is part of the Plymouth Joint School District, which is ranked 153 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Horizon Elementary's performance has been inconsistent, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking and rating over the years. In the most recent school year (2024-2025), the school ranked 701 out of 1,044 Wisconsin elementary schools, with a 2-star rating. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science are generally lower than the district and state averages, and its performance has declined in recent years. Horizon Elementary has also seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.2% in 2023-2024 to 19.5% in 2022-2023.

Comparing Horizon Elementary to nearby high-performing schools, such as Parkview Elementary and Fairview Elementary within the same district, as well as Kohler Elementary in a different district, highlights opportunities for improvement and potential best practices that could be adopted. While Horizon Elementary's spending per student has increased over the years, and its student-teacher ratio has remained relatively stable, these factors alone do not seem to be driving the school's performance challenges.
