Lancaster Catholic is a great school with caring teachers who hold each student to high academic standards and expect their best honest work.

Overall Lancaster Catholic was exactly what I needed. Teachers weren't regularly involved but I enjoyed that because it gave you a sense of independence. I was involved in 27 clubs and each one offered a different experience, however there were clubs I wished they had, but it was difficult to create them due to teachers not wanting to watch over the clubs.

Although the classes and teachers are similar to what would be found at any other school, there is a lack of advanced STEM classes and helpful classes for post-secondary preparation. Out of everything at the school, the most emphasis is placed on sports and Catholicism. There is a conservative bias and discrimination towards minority groups.
