Greetings Falcon Family!

We are very pleased and excited about our future. We are so pleased that Ms. Pratt joined our team at Frazier Prep and has been providing outstanding leadership and direction for the future of our children.  As you may have noticed, the student environment of activities has grown tremendously since the start of the school year. Our children are on track to make exemplary leaps in the upcoming testing period in March.

The staff has responded well in settling in with new leadership, and is excited about the opportunity to share their input in the learning experience of the students.  This along with the fantastic parent involvement has our board working much harder to keep our school in providing cutting edge experiences for our students.  You can expect new and exciting technologies to become part of the student environment, as well as new training materials being introduced to our students for exceeding growth potential.

Lastly, as we evaluate new individuals to join our board and team at Frazier Preparatory Academy, we ask that you open your interest to help us grow opportunities for all students.  Get involved, know what’s going on at the school and not just with your child and PARTICIPATE.

Thanks for your support at Frazier Prep, we’re glad to have you on our team.

Each year DMSF receives over 1000 applications throughout the City of Chicago.  Because of their academic abilities, leadership skills, and hard work these FPA students were selected.  Scholarships are awarded annually to only 75 of those who apply.  This is a very prestigious honor for Frazier Preparatory Academy and speaks highly of the rigorous curriculum delivered to students.  Frazier Preparatory and Mosaica Education are very proud of Kayla and Kierra and wish them well in their high school and college endeavors.

Last year, FPA was awarded one scholarship…this year we are proud to say we have two!  Congratulations again to Kayla and Kierra and their families.

According to achievement data, 70.2 percent of students met or excelled in the ISAT as compared to 56.4 percent, in 2009. This is a 13.8 percent increase, and the second largest percentage increase, or gain, among the all charter and contract elementary schools, in Chicago.

“Our academic gains are the result of the hard work and dedication of our leadership and teaching teams,” said Lakita Little, chief administrating officer for Frazier. “We provide rigorous, standards-based, data-driven instruction and it yields academic growth.”
