The teachers at this school are very mean, why do they act like we are annoying, they need to check themself. Some teachers need to think before they speak because they can really affect others. This school administration doesn’t even care about racism and swipe it under the rug. They don’t tell parents anything and have rules that other schools in the district don’t. Don’t come here!!!

I've moved around a bit between schools and this is hands down the best! The teachers are willing to help 100% of the time, there is absolutely 0 bullying. Besides the one rude lady in the office everyone is so kind and motivational!

I honestly have no idea why some of the comments are bad. I am an 8th grader at frontier trail and my experience at frontier trail has been nothing short of amazing. All of the teachers are wonderful and help you with whatever you need. All of my peers are very friendly and everyone does their best to make everyone feel included. We have so much spirit and I don't know why anyone wouldn't want to go to frontier trail. The atmosphere is great to be in here and all of the office staff and teachers are so kind. I am so glad that I came to frontier trail I have had an amazing three years and I will be very sad to leave next year.

I have had lots of problems this year with this school. I moved to Kansas because I thought the schools were suppose to be great. I have a special needs child that I was scared to take to school everyday because she wasn't getting the help she needed. No regular IEP meetingslike are suppose to happen. There is a lady that works in the office that is very rude and shouldn't be around children. I basically feel like we have wasted a whole year of time and have got nothing but aggravation. Have called school board twice. Ridiculous! Trying to figure out how we can get into another school without moving.

My son loves teachers and students! I was surprised to read about the office staff comment because our family has never had anything but a positive experience. I am very pleased with the education he receives. He loves going to school everyday and that is saying a lot for a 13 year old!!

FT is not so great.... the office staff is not friendly at all, there is bullying that is not addressed . There is a few remarkable teachers that really do care, Mr. Arnold, Mrs. Harrison and Mr. Dietrich, to name a few but there would not be many more I would add to that list. I found most teachers to be not motivated or kind. Very happy that my children have moved on to highschool.

This school has been a wonderful experience for my daughter. Great teachers, principals and staff! Vice Principal Jennifer is the best and the Silver Team Teachers are Excellent! I was not from Kansas so I did not know what to expect from the school system and I have been pleasantly surprised!!!
