School Overview

Lancaster High sits in the western stretch of the Antelope Valley, a high desert community where wide open spaces and a tight-knit, working-class spirit define daily life. The school's academic scores lag behind state averages across English, math, and science, so families who prioritize strong academics may want to weigh their options carefully within the Antelope Valley Union district. That said, Lancaster itself has been investing in revitalization efforts downtown, and for families already rooted in this part of the Mojave — drawn by affordable housing and wide skies far from the LA basin — this is a large comprehensive high school with the full range of sports, activities, and programs that come with it.
