Summary

Realms Middle School is a small public middle school in Bend, Oregon, serving grades 6–8 in Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1 with 156 students — roughly one-quarter the size of the other middle schools nearby, which enroll between 568 and 695 students.

In 2025–26, Realms ranked 92nd of 371 Oregon middle schools (75th percentile, 4 stars), still above average statewide but a clear step down from 2022–23, when it ranked 30th of 380 (92nd percentile, 5 stars). English language arts and math remain relative strengths: 54.3% of students were proficient in ELA and 46.7% in math, above both district and state averages. Results vary sharply by grade, however — 7th grade ELA (69.6%) and 8th grade math (57.1%) are strong, while 6th grade ELA (37.5%) falls below district and state. Science is the clearest academic weakness at 22.9% proficiency, below district and state, and only two of eight nearby schools scored lower. In ELA and math, Realms sits mid-pack locally, behind Pacific Crest Middle School and Cascade Middle School but ahead of Pilot Butte Middle School, High Desert Middle School, Obsidian Middle School, and Elton Gregory Middle School.

Chronic absenteeism is the most striking concern: 39.7% in 2024–25, the highest among nearby schools and above district and state, up sharply from 28.2% the year before — even though higher-poverty schools in Redmond School District 2J had lower rates. Realms spends $18,024 per student, more than any nearby school, and has the smallest classes at 18.8:1, yet its outcomes are not uniformly top-tier. Because the school is so small, each grade holds roughly 50 students, so year-to-year swings should be read cautiously; free/reduced lunch data is not reported.
