Summary:
Horizon Science Academy-Denison Middle School is the sole school in this data set, serving grades K-8. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of African American and Hispanic students. However, the school is struggling academically, with consistently low test scores well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school faces a significant challenge with high chronic absenteeism, with over 53% of students chronically absent.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8 to 1. However, the school's spending per student of $7,421 is relatively low, which may be a contributing factor to the poor academic outcomes. The school's diverse student population highlights the need for culturally responsive teaching practices and support systems to address the unique needs of its learners.
Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of Horizon Science Academy-Denison Middle School, which is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. Significant interventions and support may be necessary to improve student outcomes and address the challenges the school is facing.
