In the Fall of 2013, stakeholders from the community, clergy, companies, campuses and classrooms united to begin the discussion about creating a shared Vision 2020 for Lancaster ISD. This vision is that all students will achieve self-sustaining success and leave a lasting legacy. The mission of Lancaster ISD, in collaboration with parents and communities, is to ignite learning that translates into sustainable success for all students in an ever-changing society. During the last three years, Lancaster ISD has received 64 distinctions. The 2016 accountability performance provided confirmation and clear evidence that improvements are being sustained over time. For the fourth year in a row, Lancaster ISD has held the title of “Best of Best Southwest” as it relates to Graduation Rate. LISD graduation numbers continue to be higher than any of the other traditional public schools and charters in the southern Dallas County area.
