Summary

Juniper Elementary School is a K–5 school in Bend, Oregon, serving 432 students in Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1. The district ranks 34th of 141 in Oregon, but Juniper outperforms that profile: in 2025–2026 it ranked 106th of 709 elementary schools statewide — 85th percentile, 4 stars. It has earned 4 stars in every listed year from 2014–2015 through 2025–2026, with its statewide percentile staying between 79 and 90, making it a consistently strong school rather than a one-year spike.

In 2025–2026 state testing, Juniper exceeded district and state averages in all three subjects: English language arts 59.1% proficient (district 53.0%, state 43.8%), math 54.3% (district 43.5%, state 32.9%), and science 57.8% (district 33.7%, state 30.6%). Science is the standout, roughly 24 points above the district and 27 above the state. Fifth grade is especially strong, at 70.4% proficiency in ELA. Among nearby schools, Juniper is upper-middle rather than top: Amity Creek Elementary School is ahead in ELA and science, Highland School at Kenwood Elementary School in ELA and math, and Bend International School slightly ahead in math and science, while Juniper is above Ponderosa Elementary, Buckingham Elementary School, Desert Sky Montessori, Ensworth Elementary School, and Bear Creek Elementary School in most measures. Chronic absenteeism was 25.2%, better than the district's 34.2% and the state's 33.5%, though Silver Rail Elementary School and others report lower rates.

Results are strong across most student groups, including male, female, low-income, and gifted and talented students, and Juniper generally outpaces nearby schools serving similar percentages of low-income families. The clearest watch point is the Hispanic student subgroup, which moved from the 91st percentile in 2024–2025 to the 9th percentile in 2025–2026 — a dramatic swing that may reflect a small group size but is worth monitoring. Other opportunities include continuing to reduce absenteeism and strengthening 4th grade ELA, which at 53.8% sits just below the district's 54.8% but remains well above the state's 43.5%.
