The village is served by two elementary school districts, one high school district, and several private and parochial school systems.
Our first public school was a white frame structure at Ridge Road and Indiana Avenue with 40 students in attendance. This was replaced in 1893 by a two story brick building, Indiana Avenue School.
From 1920 to 1924, Lansing students attended high school in this building until they started attending Thornton Fractional (T.F.) in 1924.
