Franzen has no tolerance for bullies and helps students as needed. The staff is pretty responsive to complaints and follow up professionally about any inquiries. It was a positive experience for my children.

My child had the best years of his life in Peacock and I am grateful for the wonderful teachers and parents involved who make this school so impressive.

Benson left a lasting impact on my children. They still talk about their teachers. It was a fun, safe, and creative atmosphere for them and we had nothing to complain about.

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.
