School Overview

Smith-Wade Elementary sits in the heart of Lancaster city, a community with deep roots, a vibrant arts scene, and a tight-knit feel that's hard to find in larger metros. The school serves a diverse urban neighborhood, and families who are drawn to Lancaster's walkable streets, local markets, and strong sense of place will find a school community that reflects that same character. Families looking for an engaged urban school experience — rather than a suburban one — may find Smith-Wade worth a close look, especially as Lancaster continues to invest in its schools and neighborhoods alike.
