2022-2023
“While each of our young people have a story unique to them, collective results show a deep commitment to their education and significant progress towards their goals. With the support that you help provide, learning loss was mitigated and academic interventions were extremely successful. Simply put, while our students weren’t immune to drastic changes in schedules and routine, Horizons was able to preempt drastic implications on achievement.”
