Frontier High

Summary:

Frontier High is a public high school located in Camarillo, California, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 274 students. Unfortunately, this school has consistently underperformed compared to its district and state counterparts, particularly in academic achievement, graduation rates, and attendance.

Frontier High's academic performance is significantly below the district and state averages in standardized test scores across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 6.84% of 11th-grade students at Frontier High were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 46.27% in the Oxnard Union High School District and 55.73% statewide. In Mathematics, 0% of 11th-grade students at Frontier High were proficient or better, compared to 18.18% in the district and 27.9% statewide. The school has also struggled with low graduation rates and high dropout rates, with a 74.3% four-year graduation rate in the 2022-2023 school year and a concerning 23% dropout rate in the 2020-2021 school year.

Frontier High's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10% of California high schools for Hispanic students, English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. In contrast, Oxnard Middle College High, a small public high school within the same district, consistently outperforms Frontier High and the district as a whole. Additionally, Architecture Construction & Engineering Charter High (ACE), located very close to Frontier High, has generally higher academic performance, though still below the district and state averages.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
