Summary:
The Frontier Schools district in Missouri has only one elementary school, Frontier School of Innovation, which serves a diverse student population from prekindergarten through 5th grade. The school faces significant challenges, with academic performance consistently below state averages in mathematics, English language arts, and science.
Frontier School of Innovation has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 82.74% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The student body is predominantly Hispanic (73.71%), with smaller populations of African American (16.61%), White (6.29%), Asian (0.97%), and multiracial (2.26%) students. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.6 to 1 and high per-student spending of $14,594, the school's proficiency rates on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) tests range from 24.2% to 36.9%, significantly below the state averages of 39.1% to 45.9%.
The consistent underperformance of Frontier School of Innovation suggests that the school may be facing unique challenges in effectively educating its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population. Further investigation into the school's resource allocation and utilization, as well as the implementation of targeted interventions, may be necessary to improve student outcomes and close the achievement gap with the state averages.
