Allen Park Public Schools is a school district in Allen Park, Michigan, United States.

The school district first opened Lapham School north of Southfield on Horger Street. It was a K-8 school, and students would end up going to a Detroit public high school after Lapham.

They later opened up Allen Park High on Champaign Rd. in 1951. They later built 5 Elementary Schools and 1 middle school in the 1960s.

North Junior High was on Allen Rd. and later became an office building and was located in front of Pretty Family Park.

The 5 Elementary schools were-

• Sudman, on Philomene Blvd. (1946-1984)
• Riley, on Moore (Later became Community School for students needing special education, and the location of school district)^[1]
• Bennie, Next to Allen Park High School
• Lindemann, on Carter near Wick
• Arno, near Markese.

The school district closed Lapham and turned it into the school district office and community center. The school district later closed Sudman, tearing it down and leaving the property as a public park by the name, Sudman Park.

They built a middle school on Vine, near Lincoln Park, and closed the middle school on Allen Rd. The old middle school was sold and is rented out as an office building. The building still has carvings on the outside doorways from the former school, such as the word "auditorium" on the left-hand side door. The current principal is Patrick Donohue and the current assistant principal is Bruce Andrews.^[2]

The district later closed and tore down the Lapham building and closed Riley turning it into the district office and the school for students needing special education.^[1](as earlier mentioned above)

Former Lindemann Elementary principal Michael Darga is the superintendent of the school district.
