It ranks 97th of 271 Oregon high schools in 2025–2026 — the 64th percentile with 3 stars — while the district overall ranks 25th of 141 (82nd percentile, 4 stars).

Locally, North Bend is one of the stronger performers. Its 11th-grade math proficiency of 23.5% is the highest among nearby schools — Coquille Junior Senior High is at 9.1%, Marshfield Senior High School at 18.1%, Winter Lakes High under 5%, and Destinations Academy at 9.1%. ELA proficiency is 51.8% (state 46.0%), second locally to Coquille's 62.1%, and science is 38.5% (state 33.8%). Graduation is 84.9%, above the state's 83.0% and far above Marshfield (75.3%) and Winter Lakes (14.1%), though below Coquille (93.6%). Chronic absenteeism, at 38.5%, is the lowest in the nearby group but still above the state (33.5%) and district (35.7%). North Bend achieves this while spending $17,732 per student, well below Marshfield's $27,562.
Watch points: math, though best locally, remains low in absolute terms — only about one in four 11th graders is proficient. Chronic absenteeism rose from 19.0% in 2020–2021 to 38.5% in 2024–2025. Effectiveness varies by group: students from low-income families rank in the 85th percentile (4 stars), while male students (43rd percentile) and special education students (32nd, down from 70th) trail noticeably. The free/reduced-price lunch rate of 82.03% has risen sharply in recent years, which may reflect reporting or eligibility changes rather than a real-world shift. Overall, a slightly above-average Oregon high school with consistently strong graduation rates and solid ELA and science.
