Summary:
The Frontier School Corporation in Indiana operates two schools: Frontier Elementary and Frontier Junior-Senior High School. Based on the available data, Frontier Junior-Senior High School appears to be the stronger performing school in the district, with higher statewide rankings, better test scores, and a higher graduation rate compared to the elementary school.
Frontier Junior-Senior High School ranks 236 out of 429 Indiana high schools, while Frontier Elementary ranks 414 out of 1,005 Indiana elementary schools. The high school also has a higher 4-year graduation rate of 88.4%, compared to the chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% at both schools. In terms of test scores, both schools generally outperform the state averages on ILEARN assessments, with the high school also performing better on SAT Math compared to the state.
However, both schools face challenges with higher-than-desired chronic absenteeism rates, and there are some differences in socioeconomic factors, with Frontier Elementary having a higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients compared to the high school. Additionally, the high school has a higher spending per student than the elementary school, which may reflect different resource allocation priorities within the district.
