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 class sizes are just right. There are many wonderful teachers that really care about the students and willing to offer extra help when needed. The administration could be better but they are currently working on that.

Frontier High School was a very good school for aquiring knowledge; my experience at this school went well because I had parents that were focused and involved in my education. I built my base of education in science and math for college courses. The knowledge I gained at Frontier High School has given me a platform for growth.

Most teachers and staff are really helpful, staying after with students to receive some type of extra credit or doing a review session for a test. The new library is also a lot more inviting to students than the old one was. I noticed a lot of students were always in there doing silent work or working on group projects.
