FRONTIER HIGH (CONTINUATION)

Frontier High (Continuation) is a Title I public high school that is part of the Whittier Union High school district, located in Whittier, CA with about 464 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 27 teachers, Frontier High (Continuation) has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Frontier High School, located on S. Painter Avenue in Whittier, California, is a continuation high school within the Whittier Union High School District. It is designed to provide an alternative educational path for students who may have struggled in a traditional comprehensive high school setting. By offering a smaller campus environment and a more flexible, credit-recovery-focused curriculum, the school aims to help students who are credit-deficient or at risk of dropping out get back on track toward meeting graduation requirements.

The school emphasizes a personalized approach to learning, with teachers and staff working closely with students to address their specific academic and social-emotional needs. Beyond standard coursework, Frontier High focuses on building self-esteem, improving attendance, and preparing students for life after graduation, whether that involves transitioning to a career, enrolling in a community college, or returning to a traditional high school setting. Its mission is to create a supportive community where students who need a different structure can succeed and eventually earn their high school diplomas.
