During my four years of attending Lancaster High School, I could say I've had quite an interesting experience. The teachers here are very hit-or-miss. The adults aren't exactly what I'd deem as "professional'. It is clear a lot of adults try to be buddy-buddy with some students. A lot of teachers rub me the wrong way with how "comfortable" they want to be with certain students. We have experienced full-blown unprofessional behavior from a teacher acting like a kid who was messing with my injured friend who denied her a wheelchair, bullied her, and harassed us the whole time during a field trip. She talked to her teacher and they planned to accommodate her but the chaperone denied this and straight up bullied her for enjoyment because he thought it was hilarious to see a teenage girl in pain getting bullied. It was truly sad to see and genuinely boiled my blood. We planned to go to administration about it but she was so broken down from the situation she didn't want to talk about it.This school is ravaged by drugs and violence. My first year or year back from COVID, all the kids were violent and fights were about an everyday occurrence. Hearing about students overdosing isn't uncommon and hearing about violent beatdowns and people getting jumped isn't out of the ordinary.There was a literal race war that occurred during school that required large crowd control, air support, and multiple police units to subdue the giant fight.There was a fake shooting where our whole school went on lockdown and we were getting cleared by officers, some at gunpoint, and trying to go home afterward was a mess.There was a student who threatened to commit violent crimes with proof of weapons and graphic media but the school administration said "We can't do anything unless they act". We had to attend school and class with this student and hope they didn't go through with their threats so the school would finally remove him.The school is nasty but the students are to blame for that. The bathrooms are a genuine biohazard. I've seen sanitary items on walls and other vile objects laying about. If you take extra classes you are separated from the general population and you get to be with more students and teachers who care about what they do, but most are mediocre or straight or shouldn't be teaching, or around kids.Overall, I've experienced some crazy stuff and the people here are a part of the problem, but if you take special classes or activities it's not all bad.

This is a great school. Such a small hometown friendly feel. Less classes and K thru 8th.

Excellent school! The principals are amazing and do their absolute best to know each and every child individually. The teachers care about their students and make themselves easily available to contact them if ever I had a comment, question or concern. The school promotes school spirit and unity and is extremely clean and well kept. I feel safe sending my student there and feel that she is receiving a great education.
