PERRY HIGH SCHOOL

Perry High School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Perry Local school district, located in Lima, OH with about 345 students offering grade levels from 7th 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 18 teachers, Perry High School has a student/teacher ratio of about 19:1. 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.

Perry High School, located at 2770 E Breese Rd in Lima, Ohio, serves as a central educational pillar for the Perry Local School District. As a small, community-focused institution, the school is dedicated to fostering an environment that balances academic rigor with personal development. By maintaining a smaller student population, Perry High is able to provide a more personalized approach to instruction, allowing teachers to build strong mentorship roles and support students as they navigate their secondary education journey.

Beyond traditional classroom instruction, the school places a significant emphasis on extracurricular engagement and school spirit. Perry High offers a variety of athletic programs, student clubs, and organizations that encourage students to explore their interests, develop leadership skills, and build lasting community connections. As an integral part of the Lima area, the school strives to prepare its students for life after graduation—whether they are pursuing higher education, vocational training, or direct entry into the workforce—by instilling a strong work ethic and a commitment to civic responsibility.
