In both 2007 and 2008 the Frankfort High School was recognized by U.S. World and News report as a Bronze Medal School. 

In 2007 the Frankfort Elementary School was given an "A" rating from the Department of Education.
 

Educators are dedicated and caring and always look out for the student's best interest.  MEAP and standardized test scores are consistently above state and region averages. 

The community has been extremely supportive over the years and parents are very involved in the schools in a positive way, whether it is fundraising, after school tutoring, coaching, volunteering in the classrooms, or attending the many events at our schools.

Frankfort boasts outstanding athletics, drama and music programs that allow students to learn outside of the classroom in a co-curricular setting.

Frankfort Elementary consistently sends Odyssey of the Mind teams to World Finals.  Both our 4th and 5th grade teams finished in the top ten in the world in 2008!

Our Girls' Basketball Team has taken the Class D State Title in both 2006 and 2007, while our Girls' Softball Team finished runners up as State Finalist in 2007.
