Summary

Frontier Middle School is a public school serving 767 students in grades 6-8 within the Evergreen School District (Clark) in Vancouver, WA, showing a recent trend of academic improvement.

The school is on an upward trajectory, having improved its statewide ranking and test scores over the last few years, now performing better than most other middle schools in its district, such as Wyeast Middle School and Covington Middle School. It shows particular strength in math, where its proficiency rate exceeds the district average, and it has been notably effective in supporting English Language Learner students. However, academic proficiency in English and Science remains below the Washington state average, and the school has faced challenges in serving some student subgroups effectively in the past.

When compared to schools in neighboring districts, a significant performance gap is evident; for example, Odyssey Middle School in the Camas School District achieves much higher proficiency rates. Within its own district, Shahala Middle School is the highest performer. Frontier's story is one of measured progress within a district that faces broader challenges, positioning it as a school that is improving and has specific instructional strengths while work continues to raise overall student outcomes.
