Summary

William E Miller Elementary is a public elementary school in Bend, Oregon, serving 503 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1, which is ranked 28 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

William E Miller Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Oregon, with students significantly outperforming their district and state peers in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 71.9% of 3rd graders, 74.1% of 4th graders, and 71.1% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 52.4%, 56.8%, and 58.4% for the district, and 40.3%, 42.1%, and 46.7% for the state. The school also performs exceptionally well across different student subgroups, including female students, male students, and white students, consistently ranking among the top schools in Oregon for these groups.

However, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 19.3% in 2023-2024 to 38.1% and 39.7% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $15,121 in 2022-2023 and student-teacher ratio of 20.7 in 2023-2024 are higher than some nearby schools, such as Silver Rail Elementary School and Westside Village Magnet School, which may indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support to students, but also raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of resource allocation.
