Renovations at Lanphier High
Students can begin their education at Ridgely Elementary School before heading to Washington Middle School, both of which have a C on Niche. "We have a good sense of community here," says Washington Middle School principal Vincent Turner. "We love working with local organizations and leagues for outside and extracurricular projects." From there, students can enroll at C-plus-rated Lanphier High School, which recently underwent extensive renovations. "We have a brand new facility built up like a junior college as opposed to a high school," says Alicia Miller, principal of Lanphier High. "By this time next year, we'll have finished a new auditorium and library space."
