Jamestown Plan in Meadows at Strasburg by EGStoltzfus

We have had nothing but positive experiences with this school. The teachers and staff are experienced and caring, and know the children by name. My daughter had a "bullying" experience on the bus this year, and the principal was ON the bus to take care of the problem the same day.

I graduated from L-S in 2017 after spending K-12 there and went on to graduate from an Ivy League college, so first let me say that college readiness is not lacking! Now as a teacher myself, I more fully appreciate the education I received at L-S. As a gifted student, I was able to attend enrichment classes in elementary and middle school, and in high school I took two dual-enrollment classes at the Harrisburg Area Community College and Franklin & Marshall College. Although I'm incredibly grateful for the flexibility my GIEP afforded me and the opportunities available to me, truly the most important aspect of my education at L-S was the incredible teachers. I never had a bad teacher in thirteen years as a student there, and I had several teachers whom I continue to look back on as inspirations. The biggest drawback of L-S is, of course, its relative lack of diversity. However, I felt that the diversity was getting much better as I went through high school. I was, to be quite honest, a pretty "nerdy" kid, but I was able to find a solid group of friends and never felt that bullying was a problem. In truth, I felt that students really did value people who were kind and able to get along with many different "cliques," based on the kids elected for homecoming and prom court, which, as we all, are the biggest popularity contests in high school. Finally, I loved the L-S athletic program. I felt that the whole community really gathered around the sports teams, particularly the football team in the fall, and that led to a true sense of school spirit, even amongst the students who would not usually be thought of as the sporty or school-spirited kind.Bottom line, if you are a family looking for a great public school in Lancaster County, even in the greater central PA area, I cannot recommend L-S enough.

I am a 7th grader in the Martin Meylin school. This school is good since their teachers are nice, the learning is experience is good, and making friends is quite easy.
