They do not let the children have a Christmas party. They say it takes from educational time. Really?? A 40 minute party once a year? Lets be real here. Overall, this school is clean and in a good part of town. BUT...there is no art program like at KRH and no solid music program. Im face, there is no Christmas program, which I have always looked forward to. Only for the kinder classes. My child was so sad about this.

Too much homework for an already over-worked child.

No school can do this fully. Kids are usually put into a box expected to be as quick as their peers.

My sons have gone to Frontier since it opened. It is by far the best elementary school in town. Mr. Raven is an excellent Principal, he knows almost all (if not all) of the students by name. Any given day he can be seen around campus interacting with the students, definitely not a hide in his office type Principal. The classroom sizes are a bit large but that is no fault of theirs, but they use technology and smaller work groups to help with that. The entire staff makes every effort and uses every resource available to them to help your child do their very best.

We love, loved this school. The principal, Mr. Raven, is amazing. He is very involved and present - to the point of being in the carpool line opening and closing car doors, and calling all of the kids by name in the first week of school! The entire school operates with the same behavior policy, which truly focuses on positive reinforcement. The rules and policies are clear and communication is excellent. They have great security policies and I always felt very safe with my kids there. We loved our teachers and truly miss this school. Cannot recommend enough!
