We are a military family and have been at this school for the past 4 years. Each year we've had wonderful teachers that have gone the extra mile to help our children. One of my children struggles with anxiety and speaking in public settings. The entire staff have worked tirelessly to accommodate her to help her learning experiences. They helped us seek out additional resources. They modified assignments (even without a 504 plan in place). They helped us establish a 504 plan. Our previous school in the southeast U.S. paled in comparison (that school fought us every step of the way in seeking resources for our child). Horizons has changed principals twice since we began here, but we've not had any difficulties. The administration seem eager to support all of students. I can't speak to the other recent reviews referring to disengaged teachers, but as a former teacher myself, I've not once found that to be the case in our 4 years here. We have two children at this school now and we've been pleased with our experience. They are constantly having events for students and families (Spirit weeks, reward parties for reaching academic goals class-wide, and seasonal events, STEM events, etc.). The PTA here is also very hard-working. Go Horizons Eagles! Thank you, teachers, for all you do.

I was a child in this school district, and I remember always feeling like the Komachin kids, had a better schedule and learning environment. Fast forward 20 years and I still feel that way. My daughter now attends this school after going to Washington middle school for a year. And this is way better engagement and experience than Washington.

My son came from Nisqually MS and blossomed. Academically he was challenged but has manageable homework which allows him time after school. Their sports coaches are amazing, caring and supportive. My son does baseball and wrestling and the coaches build up these kids with great life skills. My daughter attends their softball camp and developed a love now for the sport! I love that they embrace not only skills for college but they support military and trades- I appreciate this since not all kids want to go to college. So impressed
