Academically, the school performs well in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates higher than the district and state averages, particularly in 7th and 8th grades. However, its math and science proficiency rates are more mixed, with math on par with the district but lower than the state, and science higher than the district but lower than the state. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as Asian and military-connected students, is an area of concern, ranking in the bottom half of Washington middle schools.
Compared to nearby schools in the Bethel School District, such as Spanaway Middle School and Ferrucci Junior High, Frontier Middle School appears to be performing better in some areas, like ELA proficiency, but lags behind in others, like math and science. The school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $8,732 to $16,905, raises questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the effectiveness of its educational programs.
