High Schools in Frontier Schools

The Frontier Schools district in Missouri is home to two high schools: Frontier STEM High School and Frontier School of Excellence-U. Based on the available data, Frontier STEM High School appears to be the stronger-performing school in the district, with consistently higher rankings, star ratings, and academic proficiency rates compared to Frontier School of Excellence-U.

Frontier STEM High School ranks 97th out of 378 Missouri high schools and received a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, while Frontier School of Excellence-U ranks 216th and received a 2-star rating. Frontier STEM High School also has significantly higher proficiency rates on state assessments in Algebra I and Biology, as well as a higher 4-year graduation rate and lower chronic absenteeism rate. Despite Frontier School of Excellence-U having a lower student-teacher ratio and spending more per student, it does not appear to translate to better academic outcomes.

While the Frontier Schools district as a whole has room for improvement, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, Frontier STEM High School stands out as the stronger-performing school in the district. However, both schools have seen their rankings and ratings decline over the past three school years, suggesting potential challenges the schools are facing. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools could be an area of focus for improvement.
