Summary

New Lima High School is a public high school located in Wewoka, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 57 students. The school is part of the New Lima School District, which is ranked 62 out of 452 districts in Oklahoma and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

New Lima High School has shown a fluctuating performance in its statewide ranking over the years, ranging from 87th out of 463 schools in 2024-2025 to 346th out of 439 schools in 2022-2023. However, the school's performance is particularly strong in certain subject areas, such as Science and U.S. History, where the percentage of students proficient or better is significantly higher than the state average. For example, in 2024-2025, 44% of 11th-grade students at New Lima High School were proficient or better in OSTP/Science, compared to the state average of 21%. Additionally, New Lima High School has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 81.1% to 97.4% in recent years, which is a notable strength compared to some of the nearby schools.

Despite serving a high percentage of low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, with 85.96% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, New Lima High School has performed well for its low-SES student population, ranking 51st out of 374 Oklahoma high schools for this subgroup in 2024-2025. This suggests the school has effective strategies or programs in place to support these students. However, the school has also experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 4.9% to 19.0% in recent years, which may require targeted interventions to address.
