Frontier

The Frontier school district in Oklahoma serves students from elementary through high school, with two schools in the district - Frontier Elementary School and Frontier High School. While the schools have seen fluctuations in their statewide rankings over the years, they face common challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Frontier Elementary School has seen its statewide ranking vary widely, from 409th out of 498 schools in 2015-2016 to 202nd out of 646 in 2020-2021, before dropping back down to 337th out of 614 in 2024-2025. Similarly, Frontier High School has had an inconsistent ranking history, going from 256th out of 431 in 2023-2024 down to 427th out of 439 in 2022-2023, before rebounding to 212th out of 463 in 2024-2025. Both schools also have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates of 19% for the 2024-2025 school year, significantly above the state average.

Despite the challenges, the schools in the Frontier district have some notable strengths. Frontier Elementary School outperforms the state average in Math proficiency, while Frontier High School had an 82.2% four-year graduation rate in 2023-2024. However, both schools lag behind the state in ELA proficiency, suggesting a need to focus on improving literacy skills across the district.
