Summary

Frontier Elementary is a public elementary school located in Brookston, Indiana, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 383 students. The school is part of the Frontier School Corporation district, which is ranked 129 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Frontier Elementary has consistently performed above the state average in ILEARN test scores across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science higher than the state averages in 2024-2025. However, the school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with a decline in its statewide ranking from 155 in 2018-2019 to 414 in 2024-2025, though it has maintained a 3- or 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Frontier Elementary's academic performance is generally stronger than the nearby Glen Acres Elementary, Meadowlawn Elementary, and Delphi Community Elementary, which have lower proficiency rates and lower statewide rankings. However, schools like Hershey Elementary and Burnett Creek Elementary, which are part of the Tippecanoe School Corporation, consistently outperform Frontier Elementary in academic measures and have higher statewide rankings.

Frontier Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 9.5% in 2022-2023 to 19.2% in the same year, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Frontier Elementary has increased from 26.19% in 2021-2022 to 39.43% in 2023-2024, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. This trend may be a contributing factor to the school's higher chronic absenteeism rate and could impact academic outcomes. Addressing attendance and supporting these students could be areas of focus for the school and district.
