GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

nothing good that i have ever gotten has come from frontier. the favoritism is high and the food is terrible. i also haven't learned anything in my entire life there. i am really good at school and its boring when a school can't help me learn when i so clearly do. I also have zero college readiness and i have no clue how to make it to college.

My experience at Frontier was definitely one to remember. Since he school is so small, you know everyone and their family. I love this about a school because I don't feel left out ever and always have someone to talk to, even if i'm not friends with them. Besides the students, the staff always does their best to make sure their students are focused and have a good experience. I am pretty close with all of the teachers and they all know who I am, even if I don't have their class. There isn't much Frontier needs to work on, but I would say more classes and sports. We have the basic classes, but I would like to see more classes focused on nursing. As for the sports, I think Frontier could add a few more, such as lacrosse and tennis. Other than that I think Frontier Jr/Sr High School is overall a great school and I am glad to be apart of it.

I love the friendly staff. They are extremely safe. They have an awesome SRO. The SRO goes around the school making sure the doors our locked and secure. He talks with everyone and is every friendly.

It's aight. As a senior I've spent my time here and can say that it is just alright. Most of the students aren't too bad, with not too much bullying for the most part. This is an Early-College school, so the administration and office pushes heavily toward college credited and ACP courses, which isn'...

I have had one child graduate from this school and two others attending currently. The complaints regarding the biology teacher are accurate. I have had personal experience with this individual with all three of my children. All three have earned at least one letter grade lower in this class than al...

The Biology teacher is excellent. No teacher can make the vocabulary or concepts of biology easier. It is, by its own nature, a difficult subject. When students do not apply themselves to the subject or do the homework or review it is not the teacher's fault. Without the work ethic necessary, any st...

Significant number of students failing Biology I at this school, resulting in significant enrollment in Twin Lakes and North White Biology summer classes for makeup credit. Longstanding statistic of high failures in Biology I at this school.
