The school is decent for what it is however, none of the administrators take student concerns of bullying or harassment very seriously. Especially if that bullying and harassment is coming from their athletes.

Lancaster High School gave me opportunities to explore interests and gain knowledge through multiple advanced class offerings. I also was able to get a head start on my college degree and always had great support from teachers and staff.

Good academic experiences and good teachers but not a very inclusive or diverse school. Does not always take student concerns seriously.

Had to find out from my coworker who was in my graduating class that LHS already has had reunions for the class of 2018, weird that both myself and my husband NEVER received any invitation to this event even though we both were in the class of 2018 and we still live in Lancaster. Glad to see theyre...

I did have some positive experiences because of LHS, but overall I think of this school with dread. The climate created by students here is very harsh. People see bad things happening & look away.

I am very pleased with the education my son received at LHS. He worked hard, had very good teachers and made great friends. His college gave him a full ride at a very small private college. thanks to all at LHS.
