School Overview

The school holds its own academically, with particularly strong English scores that put it well above the state midpoint, making it a solid choice for families who prioritize literacy and communication skills alongside a well-rounded high school experience. If you're moving to the Rosedale or Olive Drive corridor and want a school that reflects the area's upward momentum, Frontier is worth a close look.
