Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1

Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1 serves 16,838 students in 35 schools — 21 elementary, 7 middle, and 7 high schools — across the Bend and LaPine area of central Oregon, and ranks 34th of 141 Oregon districts (76th percentile, 4 stars). District-wide all-grade proficiency beats the state in ELA (53.0% vs. 43.8%), math (43.5% vs. 32.9%), and science (33.7% vs. 30.6%), yet 11th-grade results trail the state in all three subjects, with ELA 10.7 points lower and science 9.6 points lower.

Elementary and middle schools are the district's strength. Highland School at Kenwood Elementary School leads with 76.1% ELA, 73.0% math, 57.9% science, and 15.2% chronic absenteeism; High Lakes Elementary School is close behind, and the small Amity Creek Elementary School posts the highest science score anywhere in the district at 77.3%. Pacific Crest Middle School (73.3% ELA, 62.6% math) and Cascade Middle School (45.3% science) top the middle grades. At the high school level, Mountain View Senior High School has the strongest proficiency in all three subjects, while Summit High School posts the highest graduation rate at 96.8%, followed by Caldera High School at 90.1% and Realms High School at 88.2%, all above the district's 85.8% and the state's 83.0%.

Challenges cluster in specific schools. Rosland Elementary, LaPine Elementary School, and LaPine Middle School combine ELA and math proficiency in the teens, chronic absenteeism of 44–49%, and free/reduced-price lunch near 98–99%. Among high schools, LaPine Senior High School and Bend Technical Academy report math proficiency under 5% and graduation rates of 73.8% and 75.7%, while Caldera pairs a 90.1% graduation rate with low proficiency and 52.9% chronic absenteeism. Absenteeism tracks achievement closely: Bend International School has the lowest rate at 13.1%, with Desert Sky Montessori at 18.8%. Spending is not a simple predictor — Ensworth Elementary School spends the most at $26,333 with low proficiency, while Bend International and Desert Sky list just $7,010 per student.
