The students at this school are products of dual working parents. They wear the best clothes and the student parking lot is full of cars that are better than the staff parking lot. Children are not compassionate. Lancaster has had 2 suicides within the district that instead of raising awareness to, they swept under the rug. Bullying is a very large issue here. Lancaster needs to look good on paper at any cost. Sadly, it is a spoiled rich kids district.

Incorrect, Lancaster has a big issue with bullying. Lancaster has had 2 suicides within the district that instead of raising awareness to, they swept under the rug. Bullying is a very large issue here. William Street School has a bully box. When I went to speak to the principal and asked why a students concern wasn't addressed, he informed me that they only check them every three days? This is unbelievably sad.

Poor. If you are interested in keeping up with the jones' than this school is for you. If you want teachers to join in your support of raising respectful young adults than perhaps another district is for you. The teachers have no control over the students. A friends son got mouthy with a teacher, the teacher called the parents and the parents asked why they couldn't send the child to the principal or dentition. The teacher told the parents that they have to make so many attempts before ever sending a kid to the office. They would be in trouble for just sending a child down. I cannot understand this for the life of me. Lancaster will NOT fail a student. THREE teachers at 2 different Lancaster schools have privately admitted this to me. a grade of 42 magically becomes a 65 on paper. Its all about looking great as a district. "We" strive to have the best of everything and to BE the best at everything. I feel that my graduating class was among the last to come out of Lancaster to have morals and a work ethic.
