GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overall Lancaster High School was a decent school. Has a good amount of clubs to join, I feel like one of the main things we were known for was our robotics team. Our sports teams weren't the best but they were okay. The teachers were nice and felt more like friends than teachers sometimes, showered that isn't the case for all the teachers. There was also a decent amount of fights on campus. And the after school traffic was also terrible and could be better directed.

Lancaster High School is a good campus with dedicated faculty, I've had many teachers who have genuinely cared about my development, mainly my volleyball coach, Alfredo Garcia, who has made the team's academics his priority as well as developing the skills of his team on the court. The school food is hit and miss, some of it is okay, others good, and occasionally you get something that tastes like cardboard.

This school handles bullying by telling the child being bullied to go on independent study. Some of the teachers WILL NOT help students when the students ask them for help. The staff is unprofessional in that they gossip about one student to another student. I wish I could put my children in a diffe...

Overall, this school was the worst thing to happen to me. It is full of drugs and violence. I got bullied everyday and the administrators did nothing. There are far better high schools in Lancaster with higher test scores.

LnHS has its ups and downs like every high school. I personally have never seen a bullying incident in person, or heard about one. The one thing that is unstoppable is the ratio of white to any other race. But other than that, Lancaster has nothing but praises from me.
