Lanier High School is honestly the best school in my opinion. Other than the minor bad things such as the food it's outstanding. The teachers are excellent and make sure that the students excel in their classes. There are many opportunities to get the students to be well prepared for college such as College Essential classes and AP classes. If I were a parent needing to enroll my child in a school, I would choose this one.
