My daughter has been attending Frost Middle School for the past two years, and she truly loves it. One of the things that stands out most to me is the school's positive and inclusive environment. She often shares that, from her personal experience, she has not witnessed any bullying, and that students are respectful toward one another--especially toward students with autism. As a parent of a young boy with special needs, it means a great deal to know there is a place where children feel accepted, supported, and included. The teachers we have had interactions with are kind, dedicated, and genuinely supportive of their students' growth. The school also offers a wide variety of after-school activities and academic programs that help students thrive. For example, they have a Highly Accelerated Math Program, and students even have the opportunity to take early college courses through LA Mission College to begin earning college credits. The music department is exceptional. They consistently participate in competitions, and Mr. R does an incredible job teaching jazz, mariachi, orchestra, band, and strings. It's impressive how much he accomplishes, all while maintaining such a positive and encouraging attitude. My daughter especially enjoys his class. Additionally, the robotics team is outstanding--they placed in the top 10 at the LAUSD Finals Championship last year. The robotics teacher is very supportive and inspiring to the students. Overall, I have had a very positive experience with the school and no complaints. I highly recommend Frost Middle School to any family looking for a supportive and enriching environment for their child. read more

My teacher is very rude and mean. I am in Music Conservatory. I wish for the 6th grade teachers Mrs. S to stop saying things like "you all are being bullies to each other" and putting words in our mouth. Like first of all you can't use the excuse of how when you worked for special needs they were better then our class. I AM SPECIAL NEEDS. I won't tell her because she is to stuck up. Maybe if someone reported her she would keep her mouth shut and she would stop using our learning time to talk about useless things. However Mrs. Contreras is the best. No complaints she's nice and always understands. Music teacher is funny so also no complaints. read more

Daughter is SAS Frost and so fat no complaints. They do a great job keeping parents informed via emails and texts. Wish they would work closer with LA Parking Enforcement to discourage parents from parking in the red, double parking, etc. Main gripe is how horribly other parents are so self centered / oblivious to others. Otherwise we are happy with this school and my daughter's progress. read more

Not to name drop but Mrs.Sunne, Mr, and Mrs Pollack are the worst absolute teachers ever. Mr and Mrs Pollack do not teach and Mrs Sunne is just the worst possible teacher ever. Only good teacher is Ms Del Sesto (Alyssa). Also there is constant bullying and multiple fights. read more

I have two very different children attending Frost. One is a high-performing honors/GATE student involved in multiple co-curriculars. The other has a specialized education plan/accommodations and is in the standard common core classes. First, I love the principal here! He is so fun, patient, and positive with the students. He knows their names and makes an effort to say hello. He shows up to the performances, awards, and ceremonies and doesn't lose his energy even after standing there shaking hands and taking photos for HOURS. There was a lockdown this year which was very unusual for the school, and parents were obviously distressed. He held a Zoom meeting and answered all questions- even the aggressive ones- with patience and honesty. He talked about what went right/needs improvement. I came away with the feeling that my kids are in the good hands of an effective leader. The music program is incredible. Ms. Curtis and Mr. Rodriguez are so dedicated- I don't know when they sleep. They are both a wonderful combination of kind but firm. They get the kids motivated, in order, and learning. It's amazing to watch. Both of my students take music classes. They have not only become better within their personal abilities, they've learned to work as a team, cooperation skills, and they've learned a lot about dedication and hard work. It has helped them immensely as students and people, and they've made lots of friends. I thought my child in honors classes would have most of the "great" teachers but this has absolutely not been the case. I'm a worrier re: my student with special needs, but the teachers, counselor, and social worker have all stayed in touch with me as often as I've needed (... a lot). There are many processes and procedures for accommodations planning, and I don't understand most of them, but they've been good about responding and explaining. I do plan to ask for an update to the plan and will see how that goes. Another review mentioned cell phone use. I know we as parents are very used to being in constant, uninterrupted contact with our kids, but during instructional time, kids shouldn't be on their phones taking photos of themselves and other students. And during an actual emergency, incorrect information can spread quickly through texts. I am a worrier, too, but at the end of the day, we need to encourage our kids to follow the rules meant to protect their safety, well-being, and ability to learn. Although the school culture is very safe and welcoming, at any school, things happen. When you have a situation, you'll find out how good the school is by how they deal with it, such as the time another student took a photo of my student without their knowledge or consent (which is why we have cell phone rules!) and posted it online. When it occurred, there was a clear path to report it confidentially, and it was addressed swiftly and fairly - to both my child and the other - without further issues. Frost is a wonderful community and we are very lucky to be a part of it. read more

Not to name drop but Specifically Ms, Aitchson 8th grade science teacher torments my child. Everyday yelling and assigning piles on piles on piles of homework and assignments. Not to mention she makes the study guides and things that are not on the test. read more

Recent graduate here! If you're willing to take a deep dive into my analysis on this school, well then, be my guest! Experience: I want to start off by saying that I had an overall good experience at this school. I've had my personal ups and downs here and there, and it was honestly "fine." This school is pretty decent. The classes aren't that difficult if you don't slack on your work and be an absolute pain to your teachers. Most of the teachers here actually do want to see you succeed! The magnet program here is pretty great, but I fear it is the main focus out of all of the other programs. I was a part of the honors program, however, we didn't receive as much "pampering" and attention compared to the students in Magnet. For example, they had a lot of field trips as well as outdoor experiences while we just sat and watched them. I did have a lot of friends here, but the atmosphere at this school was pretty toxic. The academic levels are beyond the roof! But the students, not so much. A main focal point within the student community is all of the gossip and prejudices. Not to mention the faculty was aware of this issue but didn't necessarily know how to address them. Yes, we'd have meetings and pep rally's regarding "anti-bullying" but that doesn't even do anything. Teachers: This school is blessed with fantastic teachers, well, from my experience. I've had amazing teachers all three years of my middle school, so i can't speak for ALL students. majority of teachers that I see throughout middle school, usually would stand outside the front door and greet their students with enthusiasm. I definitely did find that a lot helpful, especially on days of stressful assignments/tests. Speaking of the academics, the work level definitely depends on what program you are a part of. We have normal, honors, magnet that has either STEM students or GMC, and even GMC honors. Academics wise, for example, the honors class is expected to outperform normal classes. STEM students in magnet are expected to devise solutions with a lot more critical thinking and for GMC (Gifted Music Conservatory) music in a way, is included in each subject! Speaking of subject- Classes/Subjects: As I briefed from the paragraph above, each program has a different level. Now, we cannot say that one is harder than the other because these programs accommodate the choice of each individual child. For example, a STEM student may have an easier Science class than an Honors student. If I'm being honest, if you want to slack off (which I highly DONT recommend) you can just take normal classes and a random elective and go along with your day. However, I recommend that if you DO like a challenge and are willing to be pushed beyond what you know, then I suggest taking honors/GMC/STEM. We have required classes but I would like to just add one more information about Electives: Electives: Electives is a class that is given to those who aren't failing english/math where you can CHOOSE a class you can take. For example, there is Coding, Journalism, etc. The main electives when I was in middle school were MUSIC and LEADERSHIP. In my opinion, I believe that the music program here is so amazing! I have a sister here who plays an instrument even though it is her first year! If your interested in playing an instrument, DO IT! For the Leadership program, it was honestly an "okay" program. We were the ones required to do all of the "Behind-the-scenes" work, which I honestly don't complain because that was what I signed up for. The program went well for about a year when I was in it. I decided to join the following year, however, everything seemed to change. Our teacher left, and the assistant became the main teacher. Not to mention, the class doubled in size (to about 60 students) It was really chaotic, nobody got anything done normally, and we were all hanging onto this program on a very VERY loose thread. Faculty: The faculty is set aside from the teachers for one reason; it's all 50/50. Unlike the teachers, where majority of them are nice, we have office workers that would give you the cold shoulder when you literally just ask them a question. The main office workers are amazing and so so sweet! The principle is a fantastic person who truly believes in this school. I believe that we need to appreciate him now more than ever because RFMS was rumored to have a horrible principal before the one now. A lot of faculty members are always outside on "patrol" during nutrition and lunch. This showcases protection, however the only thing they do is just yell at kids and blow whistles that will make your ears bleed. There are these outside aids that clearly seem to be taking their friendship with students more seriously more than their own job. I'd see them favorite some more than others, and it clearly showcases that with the "punishments" they give. They let those they know off the hook, however, those who they don't, immediate detention or write up to the office. read more

This school is very beautiful, clean, good and helpful teachers and workers. Pleasant kids and workers

First to start off, this school is a pretty decent school but there is one very, very BIG problem. The problem is the teacher Ms. Mendez. She is very mean to students including myself. She continuously picks and targets specific kids. She never wants to help us on math and makes up excuses for why she was not here for 2 weeks. I will not coming back to this school ever again if you don't do something about this situation which many people have reported. Or at least let us have the opportunity to switch to a different math class. I reported this situation to the assistant principal Ms. Nuñez and she said she would do something about it and never did anything. Please do something about this problem. read more

mrs Edmonds is a 8th grade teacher and treats my daughter and others kids very rude and gives negative attitude for no reason to kids.mrs Cortez the dean is very sexist on dress code she yells and gives attitude to all the kids.I don't agree how they treat kids at this school I don't send my kid to get yelled at ,I send them for there education purposes.These teachers and counselors should set a better example for these kids instead of snapping at kids.I don't understand how teachers will take a job to handle and teach kids when they are rude back. I work 9-5 and my daughter texted me to see who was picking her up from school she got her phone taken and i had to leave work early to come to the school and pick up her phone I think it's ridiculous they don't pay the phone bill so they have no right taking MY daughters things. Also I saw leggings are not acceptable at school they are the same material as the pants they "should" be wearing. Our kids can wear shorts for pe but can't have leggings on. Leggings are pants they cover the legs.This school is very sexist on dress code I've only seen them dress code thicker girls instead of skinny girls. read more

it's ok, I'm going here currently but it's not that good. staff doesn't usually do anything much, and they have really bad bathrooms. in the boys bathroom, they have 1 soap dispenser, which is no where close to enough. there's no paper towels either, good luck washing dem hands it would be 4, but the bathrooms could need some more soap dispenser + please refill the paper towels (I've been a student for 3 months) read more

I have 3 kids and 2 of them have culminated from Frost and my 3rd one Just started this school year. So far, I've loved since my 1st kid started which was 7 years ago. I can't believe I've been here that long and am still here. The teachers and admin are so helpful and friendly and Ive met so many great parents/friends here as well. read more

This school does a horrible job showing any type of support for the families when needed. If there any issues with the students they don't bother to try to get to the root of the problem to come up with a reasonable solution/consequence. Most of the counselors don't work in the best interest of the students, and there's especially one who's so harsh when dealing with students and parents. She likes to pick fights if she if she assumes she's being attacked or criticized rather than have a calm and clear conversation. If kids are sent to the dean's office for whatever reason (bad day, feeling emotional, tired of another student being disruptive in class, etc.) that counselor as well as one of the deans are notorious for telling those kids they're weird and that there must be something wrong with them rather than supporting them to find out why they're frustrated. read more

Wish I could give negative stars! Horrible school and administration. If you have a child with learning disabilities PLEASE don't torture your child by sending them here. The administration will bully them until your child refuses to go to school. They are more concerned with dress code then education . The principal is pretty much non existent and never available. The VP and Dean of students are both incompetent, rude and use police type scare tactics on the students. Horrible experience. Moving from this school was the best decision I ever made for my child. read more

Based on the news link below, Frost has a new principal. With the recent "reassignment " of principal Ayala, this school finally has the potential to become better. Ayala was too focused on peacocking his Porsche, BMW, Mercedes and Indian motorcycle all on his principal salary, but when it came time to the welfare of his students, he always removed himself from the situation. He proclaimed that Frost has a zero tolerance policy on bullying but when it came down to addressing the issue, regardless of how severe it affected specific children, even to the point of self harm, he left his assistant principals and counselors to solely handle things. Based on our experience, he was never around for parents or students when real problems arose. Mr. Guzman was the face that represented leadership when things needed to be addressed. Mr. Guzman is the face that ensured us of my daughter's physical and emotional safety. During one of our most difficult time as parents, my husband and I found ourselves comforted by Mr Guzman while Ayala walked directly right in front of us seemingly too busy to literally say one word. I hope LAUDS rethinks it's position of awarding this man any position of power. It is my hope that they replace him with someone who can truly advocate for our kids during one of the most vulnerable stages in their lives. https://www.dailynews.com/2018/02/17/%E2%80%8Bex-frost-middle-school-principal-at-center-of-sexual-harassment-allegations-union-official-says/ read more

This 1 Star is for the former "principal" Francisco Ayala. I was recently informed that he had been "reassigned" for undisclosed reasons. Why undisclosed? What is there to hide? I am SO glad he is no longer here abusing his authority. I addressed some concerns about my son's bullying and he came off arrogant, smug, and unprofessional. There is an article on him on the daily news and apparently, LAUSD is paying this man 131k on an annual basis. There are many qualified, compassionate and reflective individuals that would fit the bill. He's a pompous man and Frost Middle School deserves so much more. read more

I went her for my 3 years and I hated it staff was horibke teachers no help and dirty. The principle was so bad all he did was stay in office and almost expelled my brother for talking in class because supposably he was making the school look bad read more

I went to this school 5 years ago and I am disappointed to still see horrible reviews from just a few months ago. When I went to this school I was treated poorly. Not only was the school sexist but they were discriminatory as a Jewish white female I was discriminated against a lot by the staff and other students. When I had issues with other students the staff would not do anything and would place all this on my "permanent record" according to them. I'm in college now and there is nothing but they would threaten me like I was the issue when they needed to control the other students and staff. May I remind all of you parents that when I was here the old principal was a perv lucky he was fired but a lot of sh** went down. As for the teachers I learned nothing whatsoever and was given a lot of work. There was only one good teacher at this school sadly he retired but his name was Mr. Gussen and that was the only teacher that taught me a lot about science that I still know now. I remember I used to have a teacher named Mrs. Edmond and omg when I tell you she was the worst, she did not care. If I remember correctly she made me cry multiple times lol. As for the school itself the rules were ridiculous, we were not allowed phones whatsoever even if it was an emergency. If they saw your phone out they would take it. So overall from my experience I would not send your child here. read more

My daughters first year at Frost and I couldn't be happier. It has such a family feel and her teachers are AMAZING. If you're considering Frost...I recommend it! The SAS program is great!! read more

The reason I'm giving this school 1 star is because of the 8th grade counselor mrs. Ferman. She treats students with attitude and sass because she know the students will not say/do anything. She does not have an personality that makes kids feel comfortable to go to her, instead she makes kids feel scared to even approach her. She shows favoritism toward certain students, and lets them get away with certain things she wouldn't allow others. She has an overall very cold, sad, and anger personality, and she expresses it on the students. I know for a fact she wouldn't treat the students the same if the parents were in the room. She's just one of the meanest, most disrespectful school counselors I've ever met. I just hope this school gets rid of this horrible counselor, very, very soon. read more

This school is not for Student Athletes and only caters to kids from Granada Hills, if your kid lives outside the jurisdiction they will not accommodate the learning level. My child maintained honor roll and all Honors classes while he was there as he is in G.A.T.E. , but when I called the counselor and let them know he was in multiple sports and activities and the work load was stressful they refused to place him in other classes because residents do get priority. Therefore, if you are accepted into their "SAS" or "Magnet" program and live outside of Granada they will provide tutoring but no class adjustment, they dont care if your child gets strait FFFS, the school basically gives a lot of homework and goes through normal classes at a faster pace. Great if your only academic though, not if you have outside school activities your child will be stressed. Dont do it if you dont have too. I wish someone would have warned me, we would not have came here. The teachers and students were nice people, but I had to do alot of teaching as well so its not worth it to me read more

My experience with this school was great because of the support of the many great teachers like Mr. Marsubian who always wanted my daughter to succeed no matter what and tried so hard to work on her, Mr. Wah for his encouragement and motivated coaching. He was amazing and Miss Kim who never gave up on her when things got tough and and all the staff. I never had any trouble with Mr. Ayala or any of the teachers. Mr. Guzman seemed to be very nice. My daughter was struggling and these teachers worked so hard to build her up and make her stronger. There were more teachers and I can't mention all of them. I especially want to thank Mr. Spike also for helping her through tough times. He is great in motivating and empowering students to become stronger and finding their self. I just wish people saw them like I did in this school. Thank you for being there for my daughter. read more

i am a former student. My sister currently has been attending the school for 3 years now and since she's started she's been getting bullied by the same group of people. She would constantly go to her teachers and counselors. Her teachers sometimes provided support, but the counselors would shrug it off. Finally 7th grade came and they started tagging the school with profanity regarding my sister. She went to the counselor and vice principal, Mr. Guzman &Ms Firman, in which they proceeded to tell her that if she continued to keep coming to them with these complaints of the bullies messing with her that they would expel her. After they "repremended" the girls by counseling them, the cyber bullying began. We have proof of photos of them telling my sister to kill herself and when i went to Ayala and Guzman they told me that if i kept talking That my sister would get in trouble for texting me about what the bullies were doing to her. Ayala told me to leave and ignored the fact that there were serious matters at hand. WORST SCHOOL EVER. Ayala is the Worst principal followed by his other staff members. Terrible school if i could select no stars I would. 0/5 read more
