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.

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.

They try to beat the odds they are at with the demographic and location of the school. It houses a career center which offers certifications in certain trades and fields. The teachers that are helpful and competent are few upon many but administration has good intentions. The school has potential, it just lacks passion.

Lancaster High School was an interesting experience, I met a lot of my closest friends. While school itself wasn't fun, I had a great time going to football games, and basketball games with my peers.

The experience was so fun and being able to just meet new kids was wonderful. The worst is honestly having to leave and grow up.
