Elementary Schools in Frontier Elementary

Summary:

The Frontier School is the sole elementary school located within the Frontier Elementary District in Montana. Serving students from grades K-6, the school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Frontier School is ranked 331 out of 401 elementary schools in Montana for the 2024-2025 school year and has a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (27.94%), Mathematics (21.74%), and Science (13.33%) are substantially lower than the state averages of 43.09%, 36.77%, and 38.16%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a concerning trend of declining performance, with its statewide ranking dropping from 236 out of 329 schools in 2021-2022 to 331 out of 401 schools in 2024-2025.

One potential contributing factor to the academic challenges at Frontier School is the high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, with 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the low student-teacher ratio of 12.2, the school appears to be struggling to meet the needs of its students and address the significant achievement gaps observed across core academic subjects.
