I tried to give Horizons a chance, but from the very first day I noticed issues. My child’s math teacher was listed as “TBD,” which I knew meant there was no teacher assigned. At open house, I saw the math teacher had a Kelly Education tag—this is a staffing company schools use for substitute teachers. At no point was there any communication about the lack of a permanent teacher.When I asked my child about school, I learned the sub was often absent, yet again there was no communication. Eventually, my child told me they had a new sub, but once more, the administration never informed parents.The Friday before I pulled my child, I filed a concern form to discuss options for switching classes. The office told me I’d receive a call within 24 hours. Since it was a holiday weekend, I expected a call on Tuesday. That call never came. By then, I had already found a new school for my child.I cannot recommend this school. The lack of communication from administration especially the principal, who should set the standard is unacceptable.To add to this, the car loop is a mess. There’s no sense of urgency at drop-off or pickup. Random adults are posted in the lot, but very few teachers are helping students in and out of cars. Drop-off has taken as long as an hour, which is unreasonable.Please, save yourself the stress and call other local schools before considering Horizons.
