Frontier Trail is one of the eight junior high schools in Olathe, Kansas, United States. The school opened in the August of 1989. Graduates go to either Olathe East High School with California Trail Junior High and Pioneer Trail Junior High graduates, or to Olathe South High School along with Chisholm Trail Junior High and Indian Trail Junior High graduates. Students also have the choice to go to Olathe North High School, or to Olathe Northwest High School.

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". They have three 7th grade "teams" and three eighth grade "teams". Ninth graders don't have teams.

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

Frontier Trail's current principal is Jim McMullen; Ken Taylor and Jim Cumley are the assistant principals.
