Classrooms in Fraser Public Schools are equipped with Promethean Boards (interactive whiteboards) and ActivExpressions (student response clickers).

Beginning in the 2016–2017 school year, Fraser Public Schools began offering an early release option for juniors and seniors at Fraser High School. If students meet academic and disciplinary guidelines, they are permitted to leave the school campus early each day. This seat-time waiver was made possible through the Michigan Department of Education's Innovation Council and approval from State Superintendent Brian Whiston.

In 2013 Fraser Public Schools was recognized as one of the best Communities for Music Education in the country by the NAMM Foundation. [7] The Fraser High School Music Department annually competes in Heritage Music Festivals around the country, receiving invitations to the Festivals of Gold.
