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.

For me I love Lancaster high school I know a lot of kids my not say the same but most of the kids that have said they don't like it are the ones that don't like to get involved me personally I love getting involved and going to the football and basketball games to support my school and being in school clubs like the beta club and the national honors society along with sports really makes the school what it is and the teachers are amazing and are always ready to help.

My experience at Lancaster High School these past 4 years have been good, I genuinely like the school. The school spirit is very big here, especially whenever we have football games, homecoming, etc. I love the marching band(I'm in it). Overall it's not a bad school.
