“This is the best school ever and all of the staff/teahers are just outstanding individuals. This school should be nationally recgonized for their help to its surrounding community. I myself am a former Peak student, and I learned more in the three years there than I ever have. I Love Peak!”

“We transferred from DISD. I have a child in the upper campus and the lower campus. I have to say I am very impressed with not only the level of academics, but the fact that the kids are challenged to be responsible and accountable. Likewise, Peak instills in them a spirit of excellence and a sense of responsibility and higher ethic. That's something I didn't see in public education. My only complaint is that the school s clerical administration seem to be disorganized and uninformed.”

“At this writing, Peak Advantage is run like an Alternative School or a reform school. They do have excellent teachers, for the most part, but the administration is is not fit to lead. Peak Academy (the lower school) is much better. Be very, very careful if you are not considered 'at risk' or 'disadvantaged.' They have no interest in serving your child, at least at Advantage (upper school). It's a shame, because the school could be so great, has so much potential, but they do not want diversity.”

“Peak Advantage helps children to reach the 'Peak' of their potential. At Peak Advantage kids are pushed to learn more at college prep level. It is a kind and trustworthy learning community. Everyone feels wanted and is accepted by others. There is not any unfair or unkind actions performed by any of the students. Peak Advantage now has a soccer team and a basketball team, and will have a football team in the fall.”

“One of the best kept secrets in East Dallas. This school is a charter school and is funded by the state which means that while it is a private school it cost nothing to attend. The principal is very friendly and helpful. The school is new and secured with a high fence. The children are required to wear uniforms. The education standards are very high, well above what DISD accomplishes. This is truly a college prep school and it is multicultural. The only are we found it lacked in was sports. They have no programs and PE is lacking.”
