Summary:
Bend, Oregon, has six high schools in the Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1, all serving grades 9–12, with a total enrollment of 5,265 students. The district is rated 34th of 141 in Oregon (76th percentile, 4 stars), but the individual high schools show much wider variation: four large comprehensive schools—Caldera High School (1,354 students), Summit High School (1,282), Bend Senior High School (1,204), and Mountain View Senior High School (1,161)—and two small schools, Realms High School (148) and Bend Technical Academy (116).
Mountain View Senior High School is the academic standout: rank 77th of 271 (72nd percentile, 4 stars), the only Bend high school above the state median, with 11th-grade ELA 57.2%, math 35.4%, and science 34.5%—all above district and state in ELA and math. However, its graduation rate is 81.3% (below district 85.8% and state 83.0%) and chronic absenteeism is 40.0% (above both). Summit High School has the highest graduation rate at 96.8%, but its ELA proficiency is 29.6% (below district and state), and its rank dropped to 174th of 271 (36th percentile, 2 stars).
Realms High School has the highest science proficiency (38.1%) and a strong graduation rate (88.2%), but math is only 9.1% and free/reduced lunch is 98.65%. Bend Technical Academy spends the most per student ($26,236) and has the lowest student-teacher ratio (10.2), yet has the lowest graduation rate (75.7%), highest chronic absenteeism (53.6%), math under 5%, science 13.3%, and rank 252nd of 271 (7th percentile, 0 stars). Caldera High School is the largest (1,354) with a 90.1% graduation rate, but chronic absenteeism is 52.9%, proficiency is low, and its reported student-teacher ratio of 118.8 is likely a data anomaly. Bend Senior High School has low proficiency (ELA 24%, math under 5%, science 16.9%) and ranks 241st. Every Bend high school exceeds district and state chronic absenteeism, and math is a pronounced weak spot across the group.
