Horizon Science Academy Southwest Chicago Reviews
Rating 4.33 out of 5 12 reviews
Love my school! Everyone here is very supportive! Sports are improving every year. They are even planning to renovate their storage area to a family fitness center. They focus on science and technology. Every year they organize a school wide science fair and the winners go to the CONCEF that is organized by Concept Schools where students showcase their knowledge, also they hold STEM-EXPO for demonstrations. HSA Southwest basketball teams is raked up in last 2 years with experience coaches. For high school they offer soccer, basketball, volleyball, wrestling, esports; middle school volleyball, basketball and wrestling. They have Concept Young Scholars mentoring program at this school. Each teacher gets to know their student in a personal level to build relationships to help them show the right way to be a better person for the society.
The school is good, yeah. But it has some gaps of things where it really does not struck out. For example, the community of the students is more unsuitable for certain people. They would normally just go for drama and such and really spread gossip.
Always willing to work with our students and accommodations. Staff is very friendly. The ladies in the office do a great job! They helped me when I needed help with translation. Teachers here take their time and help their students. I recommend this school to all my family and friends.
