What Parents Should Know

At 57 students, New Lima HS is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.

At 9.5:1 students to teachers, New Lima HS sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.

New Lima HS sits in a rural area, which can mean longer drives for some families. Rural schools are often community anchors with smaller classes, but check transportation, after-school options, and access to specialized services before you commit.
