Last year was my last year and that school is amazing!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-12-11 “Horizon Elementary has a dedicated staff and administration. They have many extra curricular activities such as chess club, drama, holiday programs, tutoring, summer classes, sports, homework club and more. They have dedicated professionals who strive to make every student successful and accountable. Most of all they hold themselves accountable.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-12-17 “I have found Horizon to provide challenging academics, some after school tutoring, a variety of sports opportunities, chess club, etc. They have a dedicated and caring staff that motivates students to learn and to do projects and to apply their learning. It is a wonderful school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2006-09-20 “This is my children's second year at Horizon. They were required due to redistricting to move from Sine. I am not impressed, although this school has higher test scores, I do not feel my two children are learning more. I wish they could go back to Sine.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2006-02-05 “Overall its public education at its best! overcrowded, underfunded, great staff, large campus with great facilities I have 2 enrolled K program is great, 4th grade special ed lacking the focus to relize how specialneeds children are individual and cannot be taught like the general public each has its own dissability learning, speech, phisical, mental, or all need special education for the individaul also support services are lacking from uneducated staff to underfunding the therapys services. they try.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-01-29 “Horizon is an excellent school, providing a good education to my children” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2006-01-02 “This school is in a good location for those who walk. it is not on a main roadway and the school crossing guards work diligently to provide safety to our children. The cafeteria food and the kitchen could use improvement.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-09-11 “I give this school an A+ for the teachers. Wonderful!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-06-06 “Horizon has been a wonderful educational environment for our daughter. She is in the gifted program and has always had teachers who challenge her. There are quite a few after school activities and festivals that bring in family involvement. The PTA is very active in school improvement.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2005-04-13 “I'm a parent of a student at Horizon School. She has had nothing but academic problems and problems with being bullied since the third grade. The school takes the position that the kids should work out their own issues. I have spoken with other Horizon parents and found that 6 families have opted to transfer their children out of Horizon due to both academic reasons and the school's lack of discipline in regards to peer abuse.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-01-25 “This school has been a big disappointment. It is probably fine for most kids, but our eighth grader needs accelerated learning opportunities which have not been available.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-06-11 “The 7/8 grade teachers have a wonderful atmosphere for students to thrive and succeed. It is a positive environment with a mixture of researched based teaching techniques blended with classroom proven methods. Combined(4) teaching experience over 75 years. Staff includes 2004 Gifted Teacher of the Year, two teachers with administrative degrees, and one teacher working toward a PhD.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2003-09-17 “I'm a parent of 4 kids that have gone to Horizon. I've been involved with Horizon for over 10 years and continue to be. My biggest complaint is the lack of discipline. I think the classes are overcrowed and a lot of the teachers lack the ability to discipline and follow up with problem students. I even had to move one of my children to another school because of the continued hassle my child was receiving.” Posted By: other Quality Score: 5 2003-07-10 “Wow! What dedicated, educated staff! Horizon is overflowing due to the integrity of the staff and administration at this site. They care about every child. They have an excellent gifted program, after school activities include drama, basketball, tutoring, chess, homework club and more!” Posted By: Quality Score: 3 2002-10-15 “There is a new principle this year so things may change. They have trouble with bullying and name calling and the teachers don't do enough to stop or prevent it. They think the kids should ""work"" it out themselves or they just calling it ""being kids"". I don't agree with their philosphy, that is why my child does not go to school there anymore.”
