Schools

The Itasca School District #10 is home to three public schools. Raymond E. Benson Primary hosts grades PreK-2. The school's name was changed in the early 2000s from Washington Elementary which was the orgianal school name because it sits on Washington St. Franzen Intermediate School is on the north side of the train tracks and hosts grades 3-5. The school is named after a very historical town icon. In 1996, the school district made a decision to split the schools into their present state. Before this both schools were home to grades PreK-5 and depending on what side of the town you lived on depended on what school you went to. F.E. Peacock Middle School, formally North School, is home to grades 6-8. Students go to Lake Park High School District 104 in neighboring Medinah and Roselle.
