Summary

Pacific Crest Middle School is a 585-student school serving grades 6–8 in Bend, Oregon, part of Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1, the area's largest district. In 2025-2026 it ranked 22nd of 371 Oregon middle schools — the 94th percentile, or roughly the top 6% of middle schools in the state.

Performance is strong across subjects. In 2025-26, 73.3% of students met standards in English language arts and 62.6% in math, versus 53.0% and 43.5% district-wide and 43.8% and 32.9% statewide — about 30 points above the state in both. Science, at 42.5%, still beats district (33.7%) and state (30.6%), but by the smallest margin. The closest peer, Cascade Middle School (30th statewide), trails Pacific Crest in ELA (66.0%) and math (58.6%) while holding a narrow edge in science (45.3%), and the two spend nearly the same per student. Elsewhere nearby, Sky View Middle School (32.0% math), Pilot Butte Middle School (30.2%) and High Desert Middle School (29.4%) all sit at or below the state math average.

Rank history shows a climb from 59th (2022-23) to 56th, 31st, and 22nd, alongside a two-year drop in chronic absenteeism from 39.6% to 28.1% — the lowest among the district's middle schools compared here, though more than one in four students is still chronically absent. Results are notably strong for low-income students (98th percentile) and special education students (87th percentile). The school does this with the largest classes in its peer group (24.6 students per teacher) and mid-pack spending ($15,291); Sisters Middle School spends $21,104 per student and ranks 55th. 6th-grade math (53.8%) and 8th-grade science (42.5%) are the softer spots against its own high standard.

PCMS is the best school to every exist (EVER). I am a 6th grader attending PACIFIC CREST currently and I have got to say they keep you safe as well as make you feel safe!!! Also it is like a big happy family at this school with an A+ in diversity because this school treats everyone equally and has good benifits making you want to do your homework (because it is always some sort of AWESOME project!). And the cleaness of this school is a miracle with everything perfected with detail. The teachers are awesome, making you feel like their your own friend and everyone has a chance to start anything.Like there is sooooo many clubs and fun activities at our school due to creative minds and awesome peers. With a school dance everyone knows each other and always has a comforting friend by their side, with a lot of electives and world culture (like a lot). This place is AWESOME!!!
