Overall, my school was a low-income school with terrible students and a staff that was struggling to make the school better. The teachers allowed students to disrespect other students on a daily basis, basis, resulting in many altercations and fights between students. Overall, Lanphier does teach you about pride, but they struggle to provide college readiness skills.

My experience at Lanphier has been okay but I wish it was better. I was able to great college ready information and sources but the curriculum isn't the best

I have had a great experience with making friends, you can find the really nice people but I would say to stay away from the rude people. A bad experience that I've had was someone died on school property. It scarred a lot of people and it was just a sad event to happen. One thing I wish would change would be the violence that the school has and change how the administration see all of the students.
