Summary

LaPine Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1 in La Pine, Oregon, with 415 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools in recent years, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

LaPine Elementary faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 33.2% to 45.2% in recent years, well above state and district averages. Students at the school also perform well below state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 31.7% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to 52.4% in the district and 40.3% statewide. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 65.54% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024.

Interestingly, the nearby Three Rivers Elementary School, also part of the Bend-LaPine district, significantly outperforms LaPine Elementary across all academic metrics and ranks in the top 25% of Oregon elementary schools. Despite the low performance, LaPine Elementary spends more per student ($15,712 in 2022-2023) than the nearby Rosland Elementary ($7,237 in 2022-2023), which also struggles academically, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.
