What Parents Should Know

At 193 students, Horizon Science Academy-dayton is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.

Horizon Science Academy-dayton is a charter school: publicly funded, but run with more independence than a traditional district school. Many charters are built around a specific model or focus, so it's worth understanding this one's mission, how enrollment works, and how it differs from the district schools nearby.

85% of students at Horizon Science Academy-dayton were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
