Horizon Middle School is a great school for student success! The AVID program at Horizon is the best in central Florida. My son was well prepared for high school. It is the best middle school for developing great leadership skills in young people.

The extra programs are nice like a little something for every one. And the academics are good because the teachers are well liked and for the most part trusted. I currently attend Horizon Middle School and I would not have it any other way

Horizon is a fantastic school. It has to be the best school I have attended. The teachers are great, and really involve you in many things and the extracurricular programs are amazing. The teachers are extremely experienced, let alone 100% dedicated to helping their students learn. The teachers are fantastic, they will respond to parents' calls, e-mails, letters anything and are always ready to go out of their way to help students and their parents.
