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.

Horizons Center for Independent Study gives the students the opportunity to learn independence. It teaches the students how to manage their time and work without having to be told.

The teachers are dedicated to the students' success and offer as much support as they can. It is the responsibility of the student to succeed, but the school makes it easier. I like being independent and working at my own pace while still having the support of my teachers.

Horizons CIS is one of many alternative education programs on a single site. We have a credit recovery program called Prospect High School, which I attended for half a semester; the teachers are very accomedating and really push the students to succeed. We also have also have a homeschooling program, adult education center, and a middle school on campus. There really is something for everyone.
