Frontier

The Frontier school district in Oklahoma consists of two schools: Frontier Elementary School and Frontier High School. While Frontier Elementary School stands out as a relatively high-performing school, with strong math assessment results and a top 30% ranking among Oklahoma elementary schools, Frontier High School has struggled academically, with only 10% of 11th graders scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts and 5% in Mathematics.

Both schools serve a predominantly Native American student population, with Frontier Elementary School having 48.64% Native American students and Frontier High School having an even higher percentage at 67.06%. This highlights the need for the district to ensure that educational programs and support services are tailored to meet the unique needs and cultural backgrounds of these students.

The data also reveals that both schools serve a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, with high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients. While Frontier Elementary School spends $14,811 per student, Frontier High School spends significantly more at $26,018 per student. Understanding the reasons for this disparity and ensuring equitable resource allocation across grade levels could be an area for further analysis and improvement.
