Summary:
Horizon Science Academy Elementary School is the sole public charter elementary school serving grades 3-5 in this area, with 396 students. The school's student body is predominantly African American (88.64%), with lower percentages of other racial groups. However, the school is consistently underperforming the state averages on standardized test proficiency across all grade levels and subject areas, suggesting significant challenges in effectively educating its students.
The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% is nearly four times the state's desired target, which is likely contributing to the poor academic performance. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $8,248 may not be sufficient to address the unique needs of the student population and provide the necessary resources for academic success. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 to 1, the school appears to be struggling to engage and support its students, leading to concerning outcomes.
Overall, the data indicates that Horizon Science Academy Elementary School within the Horizon Science Academy Elementary School district is facing significant challenges in terms of academic achievement, student attendance, and potentially equitable access to resources. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of these issues and develop targeted interventions to improve the school's performance and outcomes for its students.
