Lancaster High School had the highest enrollment among Erie County schools, welcoming 1,649 students during the 2023-24 academic year, according to the New York State Education Department.

Data also showed that most of the students were white, representing 89.2% of the Lancaster High School's total enrollment.

Among the 193 schools in Erie County, Orchard Park High School ranked second in enrollment numbers with 1,389 students, while Frontier Senior High School welcomed 1,308 students and came in third in the 2023-24 school year.

Lancaster High School is part of Lancaster Central School District, which roughly covers seven schools within Erie County and has a main office in Lancaster.

In the previous school year, Lancaster High School also had the highest number of students among Erie County schools.

In 2022, New York had roughly one teacher for every 12 students, which is lower than the national average of one teacher for every 16 students. A lower student-to-teacher ratio has been found to improve students' school performance.

New York State has proposed a $45.8 billion education budget for the upcoming fiscal year. This represents a $1.5 billion increase compared to the previous year. The most significant portion of this budget is allocated to schools, with a total of $35.3 billion proposed. The new budget aims at increasing funds for Foundation Aid by $507 million, mainly driven by rising inflation in the U.S.
