Summary:

Frontier Elementary School is a high-performing public elementary school in Edmond, Oklahoma, serving 796 students in grades PK-5. The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with exceptional academic proficiency rates that exceed both the state and Edmond district averages.

Frontier Elementary's academic excellence is evident across all subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 5th-grade proficiency rates were 64% in English Language Arts, 58% in Mathematics, and 59% in Science, significantly outpacing the state averages of 46%, 37%, and 34%, respectively. This consistent high performance has earned Frontier Elementary a reputation as one of the top-performing elementary schools in the Edmond community, with rankings ranging from 5th to 138th out of hundreds of schools in Oklahoma over the past decade.

Frontier Elementary's strong academic performance is complemented by its favorable student-teacher ratio, which has ranged from 15.7 to 18.2 over the past few years, and its relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting the school serves a more affluent student population compared to some of the nearby schools, such as Ida Freeman Elementary and John Ross Elementary. Despite these differences, Frontier Elementary's ability to consistently outperform its peers in academic proficiency, regardless of student demographics, is a testament to the school's exceptional educational practices and commitment to student success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
