High Schools in Lima City

There is only one high school located in Lima City, Ohio - Lima Senior High School. The school serves grades 9-12 and has approximately 1,000 students enrolled.

Lima Senior High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio high schools, with a 2024-2025 ranking of 711 out of 855 schools. The school's performance on state tests is significantly below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 12.1% in Geometry to 60.3% in American Government. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate of 72.0% is lower than the state average, and it has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 38.8%.

While the data does not provide information on the school's free and reduced-price lunch rates, the low performance across multiple academic measures suggests that Lima Senior High School may be serving a disadvantaged student population. The school's per-student spending of $10,168 for the 2018-2019 school year is a relevant data point, but without additional context on the district's or state's average spending, it is difficult to determine if the funding is adequate or if resource allocation is a contributing factor to the school's performance.
