Elementary Schools in Horizon Science Academy Elementary School

Horizon Science Academy Elementary School is the sole elementary school located in this area. This school has consistently underperformed compared to other Ohio elementary schools, ranking in the bottom quarter and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. With a predominantly African American student population and nearly all students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school faces significant challenges in addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged students.

Academically, Horizon Science Academy Elementary School lags far behind state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 32% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 64%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 22.7% is also very high, potentially indicating resource constraints that could be impacting the school's ability to provide a high-quality education.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 to 1, its per-student spending of $8,248 (for the 2018-2019 school year) is below the state average. This suggests the Horizon Science Academy Elementary School district may be facing funding challenges that could be contributing to the school's poor performance. Addressing the needs of this underperforming school will likely require a comprehensive approach to improve academic achievement, attendance, and access to resources.
