All three of our kids attended Frost. The Environmental Program is simply amazing. It changed our kids' view of the world and is something they will hang onto for the rest of their lives. For the most part, the teachers were very good. I would highly recommend Frost for anyone committed to staying in the Public School system. While you may find more rigorous academics elsewhere, you won't find the environmental program. Our theory as parents was to take responsibility for keeping their academics in line knowing that middle school/high school academics are much more crucial than elementary...assuming your child is looked after.

Teachers are good but there is very little empathy to student property theft and violence from bullying.

I love this school. This school teaches the kids about the environment along with regular education. They go on field trips and camping trips to learn first hand on what happens with the environment in a good and bad situtaion. The kids get help from everyone in the school and as well as the parents. The school looks at being respectful, responsible and resourceful in everything they do. So many wonderful things happen in this school and it is worth being there to help out in anything that needs to be done.

I Have been going to this school since third grade and recently graduated from there. This school provided me with so many opportunities that I would never be able to do by myself. Camping is just one of them. The Teachers are really good here and if you have a problem or a question all you have to do is ask. All the adults there are really caring and you can talk to them about anything. Ms. Wells is an amazing principal, but too bad she's not going to be there anymore. I love this school and the kids, teachers and principals here. This was one of the best moves I went through. I love this school and I love Ms. Wells.

The school provided no nurse for my oldest sons recent diabeties, not acceptable. They ask me to put my son on Ritalin,; he's just a free spirit. I love their outdoor programs, but they need to push more global warming and PETA agenda on our kids. Love this school, but want more.

Both of my sons have gone to CA Frost since they were in kindergarten. My oldest is now in 6th grade! They both love school, love their teachers and LOVE going outdoors. They frequent Blandford quite often. Great staff, great kids, great school! I'd recommend CA Frost to anyone who has kids that enjoy the outdoors.

I wish I would have known about this school when my son was in kindergarten! My son transfered from a local private school last year and I honestly believe he has learned more during his time at CA Frost than he did duruing 7 years of Catholic education. The principals, teachers, and office staff communicate effectively asnd have clear and attainable expectations for both the children and the parents.
