Summary
Bandon Senior High School is a small public high school in the coastal town of Bandon, Oregon, serving grades 9–12 with about 212 students as part of Bandon School District 54. Its most recent state ranking is strong: 46th of 271 Oregon high schools in 2025–2026 — the 83rd percentile, 4 stars — putting it in the top 17% of high schools statewide and marking the best percentile in its provided rank history. The school's district ranks 42nd of 141 Oregon districts.
Academically, Bandon outperforms the state in all three tested subjects for 11th grade in 2025–2026: 61.1% proficiency in English language arts (state: 46.0%), 35.7% in math (state: 22.9%), and 48.0% in science (state: 33.8%). Math is Bandon's clearest local edge — the highest among nearby high schools, ahead of Myrtle Point High School (21.4%), Marshfield Senior High School (18.1%), Pacific High School (15.4%), Coquille Junior Senior High (9.1%), Destinations Academy (9.1%), and Winter Lakes High (under 5%). Coquille edges Bandon slightly in 11th-grade ELA (62.1%), and Myrtle Point reports higher 11th-grade science (51.7%). Still, about two-thirds of Bandon students were not proficient in math, so this is a relative strength rather than absolute mastery.
Attendance is the standout recent improvement: chronic absenteeism fell from 49.5% in 2022–2023 to 16.1% in 2024–2025, far below the state's 33.5% and the lowest reported among nearby schools — Coquille (38.6%), Myrtle Point (39.6%), Marshfield (48.1%), Winter Lakes (60.9%), and Destinations Academy (77.5%). The 2024–2025 graduation rate of 84.3% is above the state's 83.0% but behind Coquille (93.6%), Destinations Academy (87.5%), and Myrtle Point (87.2%). Bandon's student-teacher ratio of 12.4 is lower than most nearby schools, and per-student spending of $24,329 is well below Pacific ($35,965) and Myrtle Point ($31,503) — yet Bandon posts stronger ELA and math results. Bottom line: a small, currently high-performing school with a strong upward trajectory, though science and graduation rate are not the local best.
