Des Moines' first charter school in more than a decade, which will target students of color from low-income neighborhoods, should be up and running this fall after the Iowa Board of Education approved its application. Horizon Science Academy is slated to enroll as many as 190 students in kindergarten through third grade for classes focusing on science, math and technology. Additional grades will be added each year. If the Board of Education approves Horizon's contract, as expected, it will become the third new charter school founded in Iowa — and the first using an outside management company — under a 2021 law that expands education options in the state.
