Lancaster High School

I moved here from Tennessee and this was my son's first year in Lancaster. My assessment of the high school is a good one. He has a learning disability and the resources made available to him have been fantastic. He's a much better student now that he was on the first day. Through different activities and events at the school, it has been easy for him to come out of his shell and make new friends. At his old school, the teachers didn't encourage students to be productive and community support for the schools was weak at best. In Lancaster, it is the complete opposite. We love it.

I THINK THAT THE TEST SCORES FROM LAST YEAR SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES...OUR CURRENT SENIOR CLASS DID AN AWESOME JOB BRINGING THOSE SCORES WAY UP. NOW IF WE WOULD INSTILL IN THESE "PARENTS" THAT SOME CHILDREN HAVE THAT THE SCORES ARE VERY IMPORTANT THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. THE ONE PROBLEM THERE IS ON THIS CAMPUS IS THAT THE PARENTS, GUARDIANS, ADULTS IN OUR STUDENTS LIVES CALL THEM ON THEIR CELL PHONES DURING CLASSES AND ALSO TEXT THEM. THESE STUDENTS HAVE BEEN DIRECTED TO USE THE CELL PHONES IN THE CAFETERIA ONLY WITH PERMISSION OF THE NEW PRINCIPAL. PLEASE CALL THE SCHOOL AND GET THE MESSAGES TO YOUR CHILDREN THROUGH THE SWITCHBOARD. SIGN UP FOR HOME ACCESS TO CHECK GRADES AND ATTENDANCE SO THERE ARE NO MISTAKES OR SURPRISES WHEN PROGRESS REPORTS AND REPORT CARDS COME OUT. BE PROACTIVE, COME TO THE HIGH SCHOOL AND CHECK ON YOUR CHILDREN, COME EAT LUNCH WITH THEM, WALK THE HALLS AND SIT IN THE CLASSROOMS. CHECK OUT THE BACKPACKS THEY CARRY AND SEE HOW MUCH JUNK FOOD THEY CARRY INTO CLASSES NOT ONLY FOR PERSONAL USE, BUT TO SELLTO OTHER STUDENTS. THIS IS NOT PERMISSABLE AND WE AS TEACHERS HAVE TO TURN THEM IN FOR DOING SO. E MAIL US AND ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU NEED INFORMATION.

I'm a member of the graduating class of 2011. I valued the educational opportunities that were offered to me at Lancaster and feel adequately prepared to continue my studies in college. I want to thank all of the teachers and administrators for four fulfilling years that will have a lifelong impact.

I cant understand why there are parents saying this school is good. I honestly believe there are students who are adding some reviews. I've sat in on three different occations while I was on vacation to find out what was going on at school. The teachers were not there in 5 out of 7 classes ALL THREE DAYS. I went back to do another visit two weeks later and 4 out of 7 classes the original teachers weren't there. Most of the time the sub and original teachers (the ones who were there) were spent yelling and screaming at the kids (Yes, even in the AP classes) telling the kids to sit down and be quiet. Im the same person who put the comment in on March 31, 2011 Half the time I think parents send these kids to school just to get them out the house. It seems as if these kids have very little home training!!!!!!!!!

This school has some wonderful course offerings and programs. The principal is great. I'm glad to read comments from other parents who also recognize the many attributes of this school. In fact, the majority of comments posted over the last two school year's have been largely positive, evidence that Lancaster High School is headed for better things in the coming years.
