School Overview

Ephrata Senior High School sits in the heart of Lancaster County, where small-town charm meets surprisingly strong academics — particularly in math, where the school ranks in the 95th percentile statewide.

If you're drawn to a place where neighbors still know each other and your kids can genuinely thrive academically, Ephrata is worth a serious look.
