Summary

Bend Technical Academy is a public high school located in Bend, Oregon, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 115 students. While the school is part of the highly-ranked Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1, Bend Technical Academy has consistently performed below average compared to other high schools in the state, ranking in the bottom half of Oregon schools and receiving a low 0-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's four-year graduation rates have ranged from 59.5% to 85.3% in recent years, slightly lower than the district-wide rate. Bend Technical Academy also experiences high chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 33.2% to 55.7%, significantly higher than the district average. Academically, the school's 11th-grade students have performed below the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. However, the school's performance has been inconsistent, with some years showing higher proficiency rates and other years showing lower rates.

Interestingly, Bend Technical Academy's relatively high per-student spending of $24,491 and lower student-teacher ratio of 10.6-12.6 suggest the school is investing resources to support its students. Yet, the school's performance remains below that of nearby high schools in the Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1, such as Caldera High School, Summit High School, and Bend Senior High School, which have higher statewide rankings, better academic performance, and lower chronic absenteeism rates.
