Overall, the Frontier Central School District appears to be a strong-performing district, with Frontier Senior High School and the top-performing elementary schools standing out as particularly impressive. However, the variability in performance between schools within the district suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement and sharing of best practices across the district.
