Summary

Elk Meadow Elementary School is a K–5 school of 459 students in southwest Bend, Oregon, part of the Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1. For 2025–26 it ranks 270th of 709 Oregon elementary schools — the 62nd percentile, 3 stars — with 47% proficiency in English language arts, 46% in math and 25.4% in science. About 48.58% of students are economically disadvantaged, spending is $16,473 per student, the student-teacher ratio is a favorable 17.9:1, and chronic absenteeism is 39.2%. After sliding from the 82nd percentile in 2015–16 to 51st in 2023–24 and 2024–25, the school rebounded to 62nd this year — its best since 2021–22 — though it has held 3 stars for four straight years.

Locally, the picture is tougher. Elk Meadow ranks 9th of 11 nearby district schools, ahead of only R E Jewell Elementary School and Bear Creek Elementary School; seven of the eight peers within about 3.5 miles rank at or above the 83rd percentile, including Highland School at Kenwood Elementary School, High Lakes Elementary School, William E Miller Elementary, Pine Ridge Elementary and Amity Creek Elementary School. Pine Ridge, under a mile away, is 92nd percentile with 5 stars and scores roughly 18–22 points higher in every subject despite nearly identical poverty rates and slightly lower per-student spending. Science is Elk Meadow's clearest weakness at 25.4%, below district and state and second-lowest locally. Math (46%) is the one subject that beats the district, but it still ranks 8th of 11 locally. Chronic absenteeism at 39.2% is the highest among local K–5 peers, where higher-ranked schools sit near 15–21%.

Grade-level results show a sharp 5th-grade cliff: 3rd- and 4th-grade math (56.5% and 57.7%) beat the district, while 5th-grade math falls to 24.6% and science to 25.4% — even though that same cohort scores 51.5% in ELA, above the state. That points to a subject- or cohort-specific issue rather than a broad capability gap. One genuine strength: low-income students have earned 4 stars in two of the last three years and consistently rank above the school's overall standing. Attendance looks like the highest-leverage lever, and the school has outperformed on it before.
