As of 1938, Allen Park had a school called Lapham School at the corner of Allen Road and Ecorse Avenue.[5] Originally a K–8 school, students would end up going to a Detroit public high school after Lapham.
North Junior High was on Allen Rd. in front of Pretty Family Park, and later became an office building.
Former elementary schools include-
Sudman, on Philomene Blvd. (1946–1984)
Riley, on Moore (Later became Community School for students needing special education)[6]
Lapham was later closed and turned into the school district office and community center, followed by the closure of Sudman High School, torn down and left as a public park named Sudman Park.
Following the closure of a middle school on Allen Road, a new middle school was constructed on Vine, near Lincoln Park. The old middle school was sold and rented out as an office building.
The district later closed and tore down the Lapham building and closed Riley, turning it into the district office and special education center.[6] As of June 2022, Riley had ceased operations as special education school and now serves solely as the district office due to budget cuts.
