The school also has a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population.

The high free and reduced lunch rate suggests that the school's student population faces significant economic challenges, which may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance. As one of the smallest middle schools in the state, with only 17 students, Fromberg Middle School may also face unique challenges in terms of resources, staffing, and educational opportunities.
