Disgusting. The school has rampant racism, teachers bully students and are very lazy, principal and administration have zero respect for students or parents, there is emotional abuse of kids, do not send your child here.

Erickson doesn't have the funding and resources to attract and maintain good quality teachers. We would love to have better learning programs that other elementary schools have that Erickson lacks due to funding and space constraints. They also do not have a full day Kindergarten program that is essential for today's early childhood education.

Two of my children graduated from Lake Park and the third is still a student. The school has a strict policy about students' safety in school physically and emotionally. They did an awesome job during Covid and were pretty quick and efficient in adjusting to the unexpected change. The staff deal appropriately with unfortunate events and encourage students to seek help and "say something". I love how parents are very involved in school extracurriculars and educational events. Students can benefit from a very useful tutoring program available before, during and after school. The variety of courses offered is quite impressive and teachers do a wonderful job preparing students for the AP tests, which is how they score so well. Dual Credits are also offered. My children were very well prepared for college and saved ample time and money. Now with the new principal, things are even better. My appreciation to the dedicated and competent teachers who gave their best to prepare our children for college.
