I am not sure where you get your information but there is no Lancaster Middle School in Lilmarnock, Virginia. Jennifer Eddy has not been a principal for the past 3 years. In addition the ratings are inaccurate asking with demographics.

"Historical Lancaster County has so much to offer for a relaxed pace of life. Belle Isle State Park is minutes away and offers Rappahannock River access with picnic and camping areas to enjoy. Local town of Kilmarnock has regular festivities, farmer markets(seasonal) and quaint shoppes to visit as you walk along Main Street. Great school systems with parent supported activities and sports. Great area to retire to also with lovely waterfront properties which are affordable. Something for everyone!"
