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.

The teachers are all very invested in the student's education and mental health. They do a good job preparing you for the workload of college

Frontier is an amazing school with so much opportunity to grow. The teachers there are amazing and work so hard to have us ready for college. They offer many AP and College courses so that you are able either graduate with some college credits under you belt. This school is very challenging in their academics and will make you work hard in order to pass the class. The classes challenge your ability to think outside the box and apply knowledge that you already know. Overall it is a very good school and I would highly recommend.

Frontier is a smaller school which is both a blessing and a curse. Having less students allow for the teachers and staff to get to now their students well and work with them to better their grades and school experience. On the other hand the schools lacks diversity with the majority of the students being from mid to upper class white families. Frontier treats all students equally and doesn't tolerate any bulling and actively seeks to improve the schooling experience for its students and has staff that genuinely care about their students both in and out of the classroom. Frontier challenges their students to do their best and in comparison to other schools in the area generally has harder course work and higher expectations. This kind of challenge isn't for everyone of course but if you want to graduate and feel prepared for whatever it is you do next Frontier will definitely do that for you if you are willing to put in the effort. Over all I think Frontier is an amazing school.

No. Don't do it. Just run. Don't bring your kids to this school. They just plain don't do anything about bullying.

We moved to Greeley almost 6 years ago from Fort Collins. I had a really hard time transferring my son to this school district until we were accepted at Frontier. I have been nothing but happy and same with my child. His test scores have improved and he is more social. Not only that, but every year...

I have 5 kids in this school. High school, middle school, and elementary. When we started 12 years ago it was truly the best school around. That is not the case anymore. There are still some really good, caring, teachers that are still there. Many have left or been pushed out by administration. Prin...
