Frontier Middle School

No support from the school. Poor communication. I expect more from this district, and am very frustrated.

Things have improved since my last review and I can say that due to the hard work on everyone's behalf, my son has shown considerable improvement. Some kids need the extra motivation to inspire them to do better and most schools are not equipped to provide anything other than a standard school setting. If you are not the right size and fit for the standard the school has created, then it becomes more difficult to succeed. Since extra effort was put in by the teachers, principal and parents (us), we were able to get beyond most of these issues. Some kids need to find other areas of interest to get them engaged in school to make it all seem worth the effort. I think we did a good job striving in that direction so that my son will feel more confident in his ability to succeed in high school.

My son has attended Frontier for 2 years now and he really likes it! He has had some of the best teachers. He used to say he hated school. He never says that anymore. He comes home with fun stories and really enjoys getting to know his teachers. He wants to learn because he has respect for them and enjoys their way of teaching. The staff and principal are a constant in the hallways. They are very approachable and always are interacting with the students. There are many different activities for students of all grades. My son has been in newspaper club and intramurals after school. Always there is homework assistance after school. The school always feels alive with excitement. As a volunteer at this school I see many teachers and staff. This school is focused on giving their students the best education in a happy environment. Teachers are there to teach and staff is happy to support this learning process be the best it can be. You can feel that this school is well run. Keep up the good work Frontier!

I love this school. I'm in seventh grade right now, but will have to switch schools due to moving. This school has great after school activities (book club, care club, newspaper, yearbook, etc.) and great school sports (cheerleading, dance, girls & guys basketball, etc.). One negative thing about this school is that you have to be in eight grade to participate in the school sports. There are also school plays thoughout the year which I think is great if your child is interested in theatre. The principal is great. Not too happy w/the vice principals. I also love the counseler. She offers support groups for certain topics (divorce, girls only, abuse, etc.) which are held during school I think. Overall this is a great school. It was built just a few years ago. Very few negative points. Would definatly reccomend to any parent.

My son has attended Frontier since 6th grade and just started 8th last week. He loves the school as I do. It has the same problems all middle schools have when dealing with this age of kids. He has an IEP and has excelled with the support given by the Counselors. He has gotten support, been pushed to work and not babied at all. All of the teachers I have dealt with have been supportive, helpful and resonable. I'd highly recommend putting kids into this school. It is a new school so so of the activities are not established fully yet but are in the process. And I'm glad they don't have dances. 13 year olds don't need to be pushed into that kind of situation and the peer pressure. High school is soon enough. They have fun nights which are age appropriate. Thank you everyone at Frontier.

I went to Frontier for two years, and switched at the end of my 7th grade year to Meremac Valley and I miss frontier soooo much...it was so great there...the teachers were awesome, Mr. Ragusky is the coolest principal there is...everything about this school is great...it's just like any other school when it comes to the socialiazation of the kids...there's no better school in Missouri I think

I am in 8th grade, and have been at Frontier for all 3 years it has been open. Some staff is good, some... not so much. Some teachers are somewhat droll, and some have little patience (but I guess that is expected in every school!) The kids in the school are like that of any normal school. This school is larger than the other middle schools, so it does see more... excitement. But nothing to be afraid of, nothing serious has ever happened here, and it rarely happens. Overall, I think this is a good school.
