LIMA-BRIGHTON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Lima-Brighton Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Lakeland School Corporation school district, located in Howe, IN with about 216 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 16 teachers, Lima-Brighton Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Lima-Brighton Elementary is a public school located in the small, rural community of Howe, Indiana. Serving as a foundational institution for the local area, the school focuses on providing core primary education to students in a close-knit, community-oriented environment. Because of its location in a rural district, the school typically emphasizes personalized attention and a supportive atmosphere that bridges the gap between home and academic life for families in LaGrange County.

Academically, the school follows the standard Indiana state curriculum, focusing on essential literacy, mathematics, and science skills for elementary-aged children. As part of a smaller district, Lima-Brighton often benefits from lower student-to-teacher ratios compared to larger urban schools, allowing for a more hands-on approach to instruction. The school serves as a central hub for the Howe community, fostering an environment where teachers, staff, and parents collaborate closely to support student development and long-term academic success.
