Frontier is an amazing elementary school with a wonderful and supportive administration and staff. The teachers and staff are dedicated, inclusive and caring, and committed to helping students achieve success both academically and socially. They have award winning teachers, small class sizes, and ro
Posted by a parent on 10/21/2025Excellent! This school is not only wonderful at tailoring education but also exemplary as a "real-life" school. As a Title I, Frontier doesn't have the same advantage as other D20 schools, that sit in much more affluent areas; yet, it produces an academic experience that rivals those other schools.
Posted by a parent on 10/28/2020My son was having trouble in his previous school (he was bullied on the bus and in class). They recommended I send him to Frontier instead and it has made a HUGE difference in his attitude about school. He no longer says he hates school, nor do I receive phone calls (they were almost weekly) about s
Posted by a parent on 1/26/2017So i went here for k-3, and it was horrible.Granit, this was a while back, but the Principle and Vice-principle were horrible! They treated staff members with zero respect and handle things horribly. The teachers there were actually really amazing and helpful while i was there. However, the kids.. n
Posted by a student on 7/15/2016I have two children with very different personalities and academic strengths and weaknesses. Frontier has been terrific for them both. To me this has always had the feel of a homey neighborhood school in a middle class area. The parents participate in school activities, the PTA is wonderful, but mos

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have had two kids go through the school over the last 11 years and I could not be a happier parent. My last child will start kindergarten there in the fall of 2025. I have seen the wonderful growth in the students and being able to see the kids both special needs and neurotypical interact is amazing. My child loves to come home and tell me all about the fun things that she has done for the day and who she interacted with. That staff is amazing and friendly and always are wonderful to interact with, even in times of dealing with displeasing things. They are always reassuring and calm. I have always enjoyed this school and look forward to another 6 years here as a parent.Parent Review1y ago - Explorer Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageExplorer elementary has declined over the years in providing a good learning environment for their students to grow and excel. The teacher turn over is very high and has occurred several time during the school year causing students to not have proper instruction and causing them to fall behind in learning the grade level material. It has become a very mediocre school with no growth for its students as seen in their testing scores. The administration falls shorts in many areas in caring for students, and helping them excel. The administration also does not provide great parental support when concerns are brought to their attention. There are far better district 20 schools to enroll your child if you are looking for a school.Parent Review1mo ago - Academy Endeavour Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDear Parents,This note is being shared out of concern for the well-being of the children. Recently, there have been multiple incidents involving yelling and rough handling of students by staff. It’s also come to attention that one staff member, who may not be certified, has been left alone with the children on multiple occasions.Additionally, there have been concerns about unprofessional communication from leadership, including spreading rumors about former staff. This raises questions about the integrity of the environment and the overall example being set for the children.These concerns have been reported to the appropriate channels, and this note is simply to ensure that everyone is aware and can stay informed. Please take care and do what you feel is best for your family.Is what I was going to say before I was so rudely interrupted. However, thankfully the school is closing for good.Parent Review8mo ago - Primrose School Of Cottonwood Creek
