The best part of Horizon Science Academy Columbus High School is the education you get at the school. The teachers notice if someone is struggling with work or is emotional and pull them aside to help. There isn't a change I would like to see since the environment is very healthy. There are no fights, and the atmosphere of the school is positive. The staff members are cheerful and helping.

There is a very small lab component and the school science fair is very weak, with an evident lack of student...

I have been attending Horizon Science academy since the 7th grade. I am now in 10th grade. The English teacher of my freshman year explained to us that we are taught what is equal to four years of high school within one year, while, compared to the Columbus Public school standards, they are taught f...
