Lancaster County School District is proud to celebrate school achievement in 2024–2025. From the foundational work of K–2 teachers to the efforts of every educator and staff member through high school, this is truly a K–12 success story. LCSD has NO unsatisfactory schools, the number of below average schools decreased, and the number of excellent schools increased. LCSD outperformed the State in the Academic Achievement, Preparing for Success, Multilingual Learners Progress, Graduation Rate, and Student Progress categories. Together, our schools achieved significant gains.
