Static Homepage Question

Since this is a place for advanced users to post their WP work, I thought maybe someone in here would know how to fix this problem

Hopefully someone can help me out here.

Just the other day, someone contacted me and told me that when they went to our site (www.thehoweschool.org), the homepage was missing. I confirmed this yesterday. However, to make things even more strange, if I log in to the admin dashboard and access our site while logged in, the static homepage shows up, but the moment I log out and try to view the site as a normal visitor, the static homepage is gone and the site is a jumbled mess. FYI, to edit my homepage, I have to go to the editor and edit the page_frontpage.php file. Not quite sure how I would’ve disabled this from being the static homepage when I’m logged out, but still having it be the homepage when I’m logged in to the admin panel.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
