LIMA HIGH SCHOOL

Lima High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Lima K-12 Schools school district, located in Lima, MT with about 20 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 4 teachers, Lima High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. 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 High School, located at 1 North Harrison in Lima, Montana, serves as the educational hub for the small, rural community of Lima. As a component of the Lima Public School District, the school is deeply integrated into the surrounding Beaverhead County landscape, reflecting the values and challenges typical of Montana’s remote, agricultural-based towns. The school maintains a small student-to-teacher ratio, which allows for a highly personalized learning environment where students receive individualized attention that is often difficult to replicate in larger, urban school districts.

The school’s mission emphasizes fostering academic achievement while preparing students for success in both higher education and the workforce. Given its remote location, Lima High School acts as a vital social and educational center, often balancing a rigorous state-mandated curriculum with extracurricular opportunities that keep students engaged with their peers and the community. By utilizing resources like their official website, the school maintains communication with parents and the public, striving to provide a supportive, tight-knit environment that prioritizes student growth and community involvement.
