The feeder schools to Frontier Trail are Tomahawk Elementary, Briarwood Elementary, Blackbob Elementary and Green Springs Elementary.

Their mascot is the jaguar and their colors are blue and red. Frontier Trail Jr. High has advisory classes on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings to encourage reading, or so that students may go to "club activities".

Frontier Trail was awarded the Blue Ribbon School of Excellence award for its 1999-2000 school year[1].
