Definitely! There are several high-ranking military academies in the US that can provide you a solid foundation for a career in the military. Here are a few options to consider:

1. Randolph-Macon Academy: It's a top-ranking military school located in Virginia. The school emphasizes both solid academic education and character development, with an Air Force JROTC program.

2. St. John's Northwestern Military Academy: Based in Wisconsin, it offers military structure and discipline alongside rigorous academics. The school boasts a track-record of students earning appointments to the U.S. military academies.

3. Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA): Located in Pennsylvania, VFMA offers a strong emphasis on leadership skills and personal development, alongside its military-based program. This school has a strong tradition, having been established in 1928.

4. Marion Military Institute: Located in Alabama, it is the oldest military junior college in the nation. Known for its leadership development programs, students get the opportunity to take part in the Early Commissioning Program where they can become second lieutenants after two years.

5. Fork Union Military Academy: It's a military-based boarding school in Virginia. FUMA provides a balance of academics, leadership development, and physical training. Notably, they have a unique academic system called the "One-Subject Plan," turning a traditional year-long course into an 8-month program.
