Just ahead of the start of the major construction, Lancaster ISD is hosting a brief groundbreaking program to officially mark the beginning of the new middle school for Lancaster ISD students.

The 9th Annual College Go Get It Week for the Lancaster Independent School District will be September 17-21, 2018. While each campus in the district is responsible for developing its own daily schedule of activities, the week will be devoted to giving all students the opportunity to learn about post-secondary educational opportunities including colleges and universities, military opportunities, and careers in technical education. Information will be disseminated to encourage and motivate students to dream big dreams with the understanding that they can become anything they desire if they work hard with intentional planning for their own success.

The 2018 accountability scores were calculated from tests students took in December, March and May of the 2017-2018 school year. The district received 30 TEA Academic Distinctions—more than any school district or charter school in the Best Southwest area. Every Lancaster ISD school received an academic distinction with seven of the nine rated campuses receiving two or more distinctions.
