A place with true character - 7/11/2018
The city of Lancaster, Texas has a lot of character and a proud history. We have a lot of new businesses popping up and most of the neighborhoods in Lancaster are attractive. The people are hardworking and friendly. The local public schools have improved significantly and enrollment has increased. There are also alternative options available (public charters, private schools) that weren't present in the past.

A pleasant place to live - 10/6/2017
Lancaster is a pleasant place, not too big, not too small nor overcrowded. My neighborhood is very close knit. I moved here in 2001 but most of my neighbors are original homeowners who have lived in Lancaster for over twenty-five years. I've never felt out of place and we make an effort to extend that friendliness to the new families who relocate

Lancaster Independent School District-LISD - 11/4/2011
The school's under LISD are so poor. I have 3 children in 3 different schools. The LISD district is such a let down. I'm not a native Texan-had I been I would have known not to move to this area. I would have went 5 more miles up the road to Red oak, Tx. where the schools are much better!!!! Here in Lancaster, both my elementary child and high school child very seldom have homework due to them not being allowed to bring books home. The district claims they don't have $$$ in the budget for enough books. However, back a few months ago when this major storm came through here, the district had enough funds available to replace the Tiger @ the high school on the outside of the football stadium! (It had been damaged in the storm.) I also have a MAJOR problem with the TAKS test-that they supposedly have done away with. However, with the TAKS test you can go to school all year long and be on the principal's list every single semester and then take the TAKS and be held back!!!!!!!

I found what I needed in Lancaster - 8/23/2009
After an terrible experience in Red Oak, my family moved to Lancaster two years ago. Even though I heard a lot of negative things being said about Lancaster while living in Red Oak, they were based mostly on ignorance more than anything else. Our neighbors are a true blessing. They helped us unpack and get settled into our house and my son has thrived in the new surroundings. His school is great and this year they were rated "Recognized." The teachers are wonderful and the quality of education is top of the line. After such a poor experience in Red Oak, all I wanted was to find a nice, safe, and welcoming place for my family to live. I found it in

Lovely Town - 4/15/2009
I have lived in Lancaster for 20+ years. This is a wonderful community and I love living here. Even with all of the recent growth, it still retains that "close-knit", "small-town" feel. I encourage anyone looking for a safe, family-friendly community close to the "big city" to move

Our Best Decision - 3/6/2009
As long-time renters, my wife and I finally saved up enough to purchase our first home. We looked at many areas, but fell in love with a home in Lancaster's Rolling Meadows subdivision. It was just the right size for us and significantly reduced the commute times to and from our jobs in Waxahachie and Duncanville. The price was right and we have never regretted our decision to move here. Rolling Meadows is a close-knit neighborhood with regular events taking place all the time. There is an active Homeowners Association (HOA) that is community-oriented and not overbearing and intrusive the way some are in other parts of the Dallas area. We don't have any children, but many of our neighbors do and most of them are active in their children's schools. I have frequently heard that the schools are definitely improving and are much better than some of the generalizations often made about them.
To sum it up, we love our house, the neighborhood, and the city. If you want a lot of

Nice town, poor schools - 12/8/2007
I moved to Lancaster from the east coast. The housng cost is very affordable compared to the northeast. It is clean and quiet, the only issue is the school system. It is not organized and the curriculum is very behind, even the AP courses. The children are also not treated fair. The schools seam to be more concerned with the students dress attire rather than their education. It is nice to live here as long as one either does not have children or alternative education is
