Summary:
The Lima K-12 Schools district in Montana consists of two schools: Lima School, an elementary school, and Lima High School. Both schools are performing below state averages on key metrics, with low proficiency rates in core subjects and high rates of economic disadvantage among their student populations.
The elementary school, Lima School, has proficiency rates in English Language Arts (35.71%), Mathematics (7.14%), and Science (60%) that are all lower than the district and state averages. The high school, Lima High School, fares slightly better in English Language Arts (60%) but struggles significantly in Mathematics (0%) and Science (0%). Both schools have high free and reduced lunch rates, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among their students.
Despite the high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, the Lima K-12 Schools district appears to be struggling to provide a well-rounded education to its students. The data reveals a concerning trend of declining performance, with both schools' statewide rankings dropping in recent years. The small enrollment numbers at both the elementary and high school levels also raise questions about the long-term sustainability and viability of these schools within the district.
