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 love Horizon for the academics. The school is not really big on sports or pep rallys which kind of is sad. It would be nice to have a bigger building other than that I would have no complaints Its really great for academics and for college prep. They also have us take classes at Columbus State

When I worked here, there were still chalkboards in classrooms, and the teachers had to punch in and punch out like factory workers. It was very demoralizing. Students were told they were receiving a high-quality education, and many of them believed that, but in reality the academics were extremely poor. The science classrooms were very poorly equipped. It just did not feel like a place of learning or a community.

My best experience at Horzion was being able to take college classes while still in high school. My worst experience is not having more sports options.

The staff at this schools works hard with very little--little support, little, respect, little money. Test scores are the main priority at this school. Experimental math and science are not. 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...
