Summary

Hillcrest Elementary School is a K–5 school at 1100 Main St in North Bend, Oregon, serving 449 students — the largest K–5 elementary in its area — as part of North Bend School District 13, the highest-ranked district in the region and 25th of 141 districts statewide.

The school ranked 150th of 709 Oregon elementary schools in 2025–2026, putting it in the 79th percentile with a 4-star rating, a level it has held every year on record. Its results beat both its district and the state in all three tested subjects: 55.7% in English language arts, 51.0% in math and 41.2% in science. The math margin is the standout — about 15 points above its own district and 18 points above the state. What makes this notable is that Hillcrest serves a high-poverty population (81.5% free/reduced lunch) and spends less per student ($16,109) than nearly every comparable school nearby. The same-district comparison is striking: North Bay Elementary School, 6.9 miles away with a similar student population, posts 35.5% in math and 28.3% in science while spending roughly $4,100 more per student. Within about three miles, Sunset School records 23.7% in ELA and 15.2% in math. Hillcrest's chronic absenteeism rate of 22.4% is well below the district's 35.7% and has dropped sharply in recent years.

Two things are worth watching. First, 2025–26 interrupted a long climb: after reaching the high 80s in percentile rank for three years, the school slipped to 79th. Results for students from low-income families and Hispanic students remain at the 97th percentile statewide with 5 stars, while the declines were concentrated among White students, female students and special education students. Second, third-grade ELA (53.8%) is the only reported measure where Hillcrest trails its own district (54.1%), and class size has grown to 18.3 students per teacher, up from 16.6 the year before. Note that the free/reduced-lunch rate jumped from 66.4% to 81.5% in one year, which likely reflects a change in how eligibility is counted rather than a sudden shift in student need.

This school is unified in their beliefs that all children are important. Each staff member from cooks, to assistants to teachers all care and enforce kindness. I am amazed at the academic rigor and results. The music program in incredible. This school has a very warm feeling and excels in state tests scores in the top 20 of statewide elementary schools.
