This school has been an absolutely amazing opportunity I have experienced. From the classes and academics to the clubs/activities.
9/6/2020
I have had an iffy experience with Horizon Science Academy. There needs to be better attention paid to clubs and extracurriculars available to the students, as well as the academic opportunities given to the students.
5/6/2020
I use to love this school but it has change. The person in charge isn't really nice. He has his favorites. When it first open it was about grades now anyone gets in.

This school is horrible if your child has a disability run and run as fast as you can.They make it seem like they want to help but in reality they’re set your child up for failure. They don’t try to find the root cause they’re just suspend your kid and hit you with the attendance policy … If you can...

Horizon Science Academy-McKinley Park is a wonderful school with caring teachers, the best students in all of Chicago (and probably the whole world, but I am pretty biased), and amazing supportive friendly families. The school gets students ready for college and even helps students find scholarships...

My child was beaten up by the kids at this school in his first day.

The school provides great education and opportunities to the students.
