Summary

Frontenac Senior High School is a public high school in Frontenac, Kansas, serving 288 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Frontenac Public Schools district, which is ranked 85 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Frontenac Senior High School's performance has been mixed in recent years. While the school has maintained high graduation rates and low dropout rates, its academic achievement, as measured by state assessments, has been below the state averages in some areas. The school's 10th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (33.73%) and Mathematics (30.11%) were lower than the state averages in 2024-2025. However, the school's 11th-grade Science proficiency rate (46.26% in 2022-2023) was significantly higher than the state average. Frontenac Senior High School's performance is generally stronger than the nearby Southeast High, but lags behind the higher-performing Girard High.

The school's challenges may be influenced by factors such as a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (34.38% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 14.1% to 19.7% in recent years. Despite these challenges, Frontenac Senior High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning. Overall, the school's performance has been mixed, with strengths in certain areas but also room for improvement, particularly in academic achievement compared to higher-performing nearby schools.
