My children have both gone to Frost and have had wonderful experiences there. They both have done very well on the state assessments. The oldest is now at university and has had no problems with the trasition from high school to college (no remediation necessary!). As at all schools, parents need to be sure there children are taking classes that get them ready for college instead of letting them play their senior year.

i have gone there for 9 years and i have seen that this school is an excellent school that always strives to be the best.

All of my children have graduated from Frost. It is sad to say that over 50% of the students going to college can not pass the college entrance exams. Most of them have to take Remedial Math and Writing classes. I am so disappointed to find this out. Politics is more important in this school system than the educational needs of the students.

About the tests

TAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Texas. The grade 11 Exit Level TAKS is a high school graduation requirement. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
