School Highlights

Our Vision: The Frontier community will use meaningful collaboration to ensure reflective and adaptive learning for all.
 
Our Mission: In order to ensure reflective and adaptive learning for all, the Frontier mission is to regularly collaborate to evaluate instruction, strategies, and assessments.
 
Our commitments are also specifically and clearly outlined in the following:
  • Collaboration: being solution-based, meeting regularly, following our norms, coming prepared with a common focus, using data, and collaborating through the cycle of planning, doing, reviewing, and learning.
  • Focus on learning: being positive and productive.
  • Evaluating instruction and strategies: being willing to critique, praise, and adjust instruction and strategies, setting goals prior to instruction, planning strategies, reflecting and adjusting throughout instruction, using data to drive instruction, being willing to share ideas, and being open to others' ideas and improvements.
  • Assessment: implementing re-teaching time based on assessment results, differentiating instruction based on assessment data, agreeing on the assessment, protocol and proficiency before planning and implementing instruction, accepting the outcome of the assessment rather than making excuses, following the established timeline and learning from the most successful strategies.
 
Each component was developed collaboratively by the teachers and tailored to their own philosophies and goals. The time invested in creating new guidelines together helped foster a shared sense of ownership and commitment to the Professional Learning Communities (PLCs).
 
Our PLCs focus on four questions:
  • What do we want all students to learn?
  • How will we know if they learned it?
  • What will we do about the students who didn't learn it?
  • What will we do about the students who did learn it?
 

Excellence in Education

The 2025 CAASPP data for Frontier indicate that 45% of students met or exceeded standards in English Language Arts and 36% of students met or exceeded standards in math.
