Summary

Caldera High School is a public 9–12 school in Bend, Oregon, enrolling 1,354 students as part of Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1, which ranks in the 76th percentile of Oregon districts (4 stars). Caldera itself ranks 223rd of 271 high schools in 2025–2026 — the 18th percentile, 1 star — down from 24th percentile in 2024–2025 and 35th percentile in 2023–2024. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate of 90.1% is a bright spot, above the district (85.8%) and state (83.0%), but test proficiency is low: 28.1% in ELA, 17.6% in math, and 17.8% in science, all well below district and state levels.

Chronic absenteeism is Caldera's most severe differentiator: 52.9% in 2024–2025, up from 43.5% the prior year and 41.1% in 2022–2023, and higher than every nearby school except Bend Technical Academy (53.6%). Caldera enrolls more students than Summit High School, Mountain View Senior High School, Bend Senior High School, and the Redmond schools in this comparison set, while per-student spending of $15,097 is lower than most of them. Its free/reduced lunch rate (48.3%) is similar to Mountain View (48.92%) and Summit (48.21%), yet Mountain View substantially outperforms Caldera in all three subjects, and Ridgeview High School (55th percentile) and Redmond Proficiency Academy (42nd percentile in 2024–2025) rank higher.

This creates a completion-versus-proficiency gap, and the biggest academic weaknesses are math and science. Subgroup effectiveness indicators are low across nearly every group, including low-income students (4th percentile, 0 stars), gifted and talented students (8th percentile, 0 stars), and special education students (14th percentile, 1 star). Reported student-teacher ratios of 118.8 and 162.5 in recent years are implausible compared with nearby schools (10.2 to 26.1) and Caldera's own 2022–2023 value of 22.0, so they are best treated as likely data anomalies. Bottom line: Caldera is a large Bend high school whose graduation rate beats district and state averages, but its proficiency, ranking, and attendance trends are areas to ask about directly.
