School Overview

Burrowes Elementary sits in the heart of Lancaster city, a community with a rich history and a genuinely tight-knit feel — but families here should know that academic performance runs below state averages, making it a school best suited for those who plan to stay closely involved in their child's learning. Lancaster itself is a vibrant, walkable city with great food, arts, and a strong sense of place, and families drawn to urban neighborhood schools will appreciate the community character Burrowes offers.
