PIM Arts High School is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the PIM Arts High School school district, located in HOPKINS, MN with about 289 students offering grade levels from 9th 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 25 teachers, PIM Arts 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.

PIM Arts High School (formerly known as Perpich Arts High School) is a public charter school located in Hopkins, Minnesota, that specializes in providing a tuition-free, arts-integrated academic experience for students in grades 9 through 12.
