TIMBERLINE HIGH SCHOOL

TIMBERLINE HIGH SCHOOL is a Title I public high school that is part of the OROFINO JOINT DISTRICT school district, located in WEIPPE, ID with about 124 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th 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 11 teachers, TIMBERLINE HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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.

TIMBERLINE HIGH SCHOOL, located in the rural community of Weippe, Idaho, serves as a vital educational institution for the local Clearwater County area. As a small, remote school, it plays a central role in the community, often fostering close-knit relationships between students, staff, and families. Because of its size, the school typically focuses on providing a personalized learning environment where students can receive more individualized attention than might be available in larger, urban school districts.

Academically and extracurricularly, TIMBERLINE HIGH SCHOOL operates under the jurisdiction of the Joint School District No. 171. The school is known for navigating the unique challenges and opportunities that come with being located in a mountainous, forested region of Idaho. While its enrollment numbers are modest, the school remains dedicated to preparing its students for post-secondary opportunities, whether through college preparatory coursework, vocational training, or local workforce integration, all while maintaining the small-town culture and spirit characteristic of the Weippe area.
