Elementary schools in Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1 cover 21 schools serving Bend, LaPine, and the surrounding central Oregon area.

Together they enroll 7,566 students, ranging from 130 at Ensworth Elementary School to 528 at Pine Ridge Elementary. The district ranks 34th of 141 Oregon districts, at the 76th percentile with 4 stars, yet its individual schools vary enormously.

Highland School at Kenwood Elementary School is the standout, ranking 24th of 709 statewide with the highest ELA (76.1%) and math (73.0%) proficiency in the group, plus low chronic absenteeism at 15.2%. High Lakes Elementary School (75.9% ELA) and William E Miller Elementary also rank in the top 10% of Oregon elementary schools. Bend International School has the lowest chronic absenteeism (13.1%), the lowest known free/reduced lunch rate (32.26%), and very low per-student spending ($7,010), while Amity Creek Elementary School leads in science at 77.3%.

At the other end, Rosland Elementary ranks 686th of 709 with 0 stars and 14.7% in both ELA and math, while LaPine Elementary School has the highest chronic absenteeism at 48.5%. Ensworth spends the most ($26,333) with the smallest classes, yet its science proficiency is only 12.5% — showing spending and class size alone do not determine results. Chronic absenteeism, which averages about 29.2% across these schools, tracks closely with performance, and science proficiency is uneven, with several schools below the state's 30.6%. Suppressed values are unknown, not zero.
