Horizon High School Reviews
Rating 3.86 out of 5 525 reviews
I've had an amazing experience at Horizon High School. The school offers a diverse range of academic and extracurricular programs that have allowed me to explore my interests and pursue my passions. The teachers and staff are incredibly supportive and dedicated, always going the extra mile to help me succeed. I've also appreciated the strong sense of community at Horizon High School, which has provided me with numerous opportunities for leadership and involvement in community service projects. Overall, the school's commitment to excellence and its nurturing environment have made my high school years truly memorable and rewarding.
I loved Horizon! It was an amazing public high school. The people are great, and I made amazing memories.
Overall, there is a great culture within the community. There can always be an increase on teachers allowing students going back and looking at work or tests that they did poorly on.
