Summary:
Horizon Science Academy-Cleveland Middle School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Horizon Science Academy-Cleveland Middle School district in Cleveland, Ohio. With a student population of 227, the school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates well below state averages across most grade levels and subject areas.
The school's student body is predominantly African American, making up over 92% of the population. This lack of diversity raises concerns about the school's ability to provide an inclusive learning environment. Additionally, the school struggles with high chronic absenteeism, with nearly 50% of students missing a significant amount of instructional time. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and per-student spending, these resources do not appear to be effectively utilized to address the specific needs of the student population and improve academic outcomes.
Overall, Horizon Science Academy-Cleveland Middle School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Addressing the root causes of the school's academic struggles, high absenteeism, and lack of diversity will require a comprehensive and targeted approach to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.
