I had two children here and regretted sending them to this school, there is not real organization in the academic program, sports is non-existent, there is no special needs program there as advertised. The school has no real accredidation, and some of the teachers are not formally trained and certified.
My son is currently enrolled in Horizons, and we are very happy that will be graduating next year. Although, he has had some issues with school, overall, I am convinced he will be graduating with many fond memories. I think the biggest strength of Horizons is its teachers, they are involved, thoughtful, and caring.
My daughter had all but given up on even attempting to do mathematics in public school after being served by special education in the Atlanta Public Schools setting. Since starting the seventh grade at Horizons, she not only attempts math, but realizes that she is good at it. The teacher meets her at her level, and encourages her to do her best. She no longer cries with homework, and even looks forward to going to school. Her whole outlook on life has encountered a positive change. This school has definitely helped her to develop her talents and strengthen her weaknesses. She feels as though she belongs here.
My kids all six of them have had positive experiences here. One needed help for a learning disability, she was not learning at the public school and she was forced to find out she could learn and her confidence sored. Another child was always in trouble in large groups at the public school and she was able to stay out of trouble and make close friendships at Horizons. A third child had issues which would make him the target of other is a public school environment and he fits in quite well and is liked at Horizons. I also have a child with no problems at all who I wanted in an environment where people were ethical and supportive. It is a great community and very personal, the opposite of the public school. If you feel good parenting is instilling a sense of community than this is the place for you.
