GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

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.

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.
