Summary:
The 74651 zip code area is home to two schools - Frontier Elementary School and Frontier High School, both part of the Frontier District. While Frontier Elementary School stands out for its consistently high performance in mathematics, Frontier High School exhibits significant fluctuations in its state-wide ranking and relatively low proficiency rates in core subjects.
Frontier Elementary School's 4th-grade students have achieved an impressive 73% proficiency rate in mathematics, far exceeding the state average of 40%. The school's strong performance extends to 3rd and 4th-grade math scores, with 50% and 78% proficiency, respectively. This suggests a focus on effective math education strategies and a personalized learning environment, as evidenced by the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio of 9.9.
In contrast, Frontier High School has experienced significant variability in its state-wide ranking, ranging from 46th out of 350 schools in 2021-2022 to 427th out of 439 schools in 2022-2023. This fluctuation raises questions about the school's academic consistency and effectiveness. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (26.9%) and Mathematics (11.5%) are relatively low, despite its high spending per student of $26,018 in 2018-2019. The high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, 81.58% at Frontier Elementary and 76.4% at Frontier High, suggest the need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student performance and the resources required to support these students.
