The school is part of the Chicago Public Schools District 299, which is ranked 688 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Horizon Sci Academy - Southwest Charter has experienced some significant challenges in recent years. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated widely, ranging from 0% in 2020-2021 to 100% in 2021-2022, with the most recent rate at 92.3% in 2022-2023. While this is higher than the district and state averages, the school's dropout rate has remained relatively low, between 0.7% and 1.6% over the past four years. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.7% in 2019-2020 to 31.3% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores, as measured by the SAT, IAR, and ISA assessments, are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

When compared to nearby charter schools, such as Acero Charter Sor Juana Ines de la, CICS - Longwood Campus, and Catalyst Charter - Maria Elementary School, Horizon Sci Academy - Southwest Charter generally performs worse on key metrics like graduation rates, chronic absenteeism, and test scores. This suggests that the school may have unique challenges or needs that differentiate it from its peers, and the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to improve student outcomes and ensure the school is effectively serving its community.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
