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.

This school is well structured and diverse. However, as an aspiring artist, There is no room for us to be creative and show our skills. I wish my school offered more performing opportunities.

As a former student and graduate of Lancaster High School I enjoyed being a student overall. There were times I felt that the classes were a little overcrowded and could have been better equipped. The food needs to be improved even though they were on a budget and tried to be as healthy as possible.
