Just relocated from the West. Frost school provides an educational nurturing environment. The teachers clearly love what they do and care about the kids.

I love Frost school. I have 2 children there and they are doing great . the principal goes above and beyond what most principals do. I was a teacher for 10 years. It says something about a principal who taught in that school( and is remembered fondly by now college students). My children have the greatest teachers and they love school!

I have two children at this school. One hates school, puts in little effort in his school work, and gets about 60% of his test questions right, in most subjects. The other works very hard, always asks for extra help with anything he doesn't understand, and studies for his tests. He gets 80-90% of his test questions correct.. The funny thing is, the both get about the same grades on their report cards. Frost School gives out As and Bs regardless of performance or effort to protect their statistics. my struggling son scored in the 9th percentile for reading one year on his ASK the same year he got a B in reading!

We use to think that it was a great school system but not anymore! The staff is unprofessional and nasty. Problems stem from incompetent staff, cuts in staff, cuts in funding and a big problem is ten yr. Not a great school anymore!!!!!

The education that the students at Frost School receive is exceptional. There is a true understanding of student's individual differences. The teachers facilitate many clubs such as the writing club, courtyard club, and math club. The parents are truly partners at Frost. All are welcome and a climate of respect and caring is evident.

Frost is truly an outstanding school. My son has been there since first grade, and they have always shown an interest in his academics and well-being. The staff at Frost is unprecedented.
