Welcome to Horizons Elementary! We serve grades K-5 in Lacey, Washington. We opened our doors in 1992 and have been helping shape successful learned ever since! Check out more information about our school below. Go Eagles!

• OSPI Report Card
• 2018 Washington State School of Distinction
• Our local Partners in Education

• PBIS (Positive Behaviors Intervention & Support) We focus on rewarding students for good behavior in an effort to deter poor behavior. This philosophy has significantly reduced the number of office referrals and reinforced positive behaviors.
• Character Trait Focus Some examples of traits we focus on are self-awareness, grit, gratitude, and kindness. Students are celebrated and recognized after demonstrating their monthly character traits in/out of the classroom.
• Wild About Reading For one month we choose to focus on literacy and fun. We help students develop a love of reading through events like Character Dress-Up Day, special guest readers (family members and celebrities), and our PTSA-sponsored Read-A-Thon.
• Student Leadership Team This team of students helps us with planning upcoming events or providing ideas that include spirit days. 

Continuous Growth Goal:

• Second and Third Grade students who performed below the 25th percentile in the fall administration of the Easy CBM Assessment and who are enrolled in Special Education Services, will demonstrate 1.5 years growth on the Passage Reading Fluency Assessment of Easy CBM.
  • 33% (4/12 students) have closed the gap, growing more than 1.5 years by the winter benchmark; moving from high/some risk to low risk on the reading fluency assessment
  • 92% (11/12 students) increased their correct words per minute and improved their accuracy on passage reading fluency.
  • 58% (7/12 students) doubled or nearly doubled their correct words read per minute from fall to winter benchmark assessment.

Empowered Learners Goal:

• Decrease the Referral Risk Index for students who identify as Black/African American or Hispanic from significantly at risk to equal risk by June 2023. At the close of the 2021-22 school year, Black/African American students were 2.23 times as likely to earn a referral compared to all students and Hispanic students were 1.53 times as likely to earn a referral compared to all students. Equal risk is defined as a Risk Index of 1.0.
  • Winter 2023 data indicates that students who are enrolled and identify as Black/African American are 1.42 times as likely to receive a referral.
  • Winter 2023 data indicates that students who are enrolled and identify as Hispanic are 1.38 times as likely to receive a referral.
