We moved from Frontier to a school in the Deer Valley district. We missed both the Peoria school district, and Frontier so much. Her first seven years of school were wonderful at this school. We did have two less than perfect school years, but that's to be expected in any school.

I am a eighth grade student at this school and i had always hated reading. I was failing the first semester and when the my reading teacher( Mrs. Rogers) realized this she came to me and got me organized in not only reading but every subject. She had taught me to not procrastinate and i am happy to say

And i have to thank PTSO for making eighth grade graduation the best. When I leave I hope my Siblings will enjoy what i had. Read less

That last parent has issues! I was on the PTSO a few years ago. We had 3 working moms on our board.There are night training meetings!PTSO is parents who are willing to lend a hand to benefit our kids. There are 2 PTSO fundraisers a year(not a month)All of the profits go back to the school. PTSO has bought

So if you don't want to help out with the fundraiser, how sad for you.My child is in the gifted program, and there is no need for any extra tutoring on weekends.Mr. Kwant is brilliant. Does parking make a school better? No!Walk! Frontier has a wonderful,caring staff and Ms. Solter is an incredible principal.This is my 7th year, and I feel blessed to be apart of such a great ,excelling school.I have made friends for life,and there are no cliques!We love to help!

Frontier is a great school if your child is of average intelligence. The bar is set to the lowest level learner. The office staff acts like you are intruding when visiting. Parking is a disgrace. Actually, parking is almost nonexistent. The PTSO is very cliquish (catering to the stay-at-home-parent).
... Read more The school requires training before volunteering for school events or in the classroom. Training is often during the weekdays in the middle of the afternoon. Special events are also scheduled for these same hours. The general attitude is that you're a bad parent if you're not involved in the PTSO or their events. PTSO fundraisers a couple of times a month (again with the guilt). School for my child has now become a place to socialize and go to while I finish my degree. I have to supplement his learning with a tutor on the weekends and after school. Run! Read less

Not sure why the previous parent complained about the lack of stimulus for gifted children. My son's favorite class is P.I. with Mr Qwant. The teachers in general seem to expect nothing short of excellence from the children, and both of my kids are challenged and motivated. Regular volunteer seminars

The principal Ms Solter is an outstanding leader who takes the time to address individual issues with personal attention to every detail with committed follow up. Great school spirit. Read less

Great principal. Plenty of extra-curricular activities. However, curriculum is lacking for Gifted students and accelerated learning appears discouraged. Class size on the large side. Teachers, for the most part, have been receptive (there are always a few who aren't)

If your child is fortunate enough to get Mrs. Graham as a teacher you are in for a pure delight. Mrs. Graham is an exceptional woman who truly cares for the well being and development of her students.
