Summary:
ZIP code 97701 is home to 12 elementary schools serving roughly 4,140 students, most of them kindergarten through 5th grade, with one K–8 option. Eleven schools belong to the Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1, and one, Tumalo Community School, is in the Redmond School District 2J. Enrollment ranges from 130 students at Ensworth to 501 at William E Miller, and these schools generally outperform Oregon as a whole: average proficiency beats state benchmarks in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, and ten of the twelve rank at or above the 71st percentile statewide.

Tumalo Community School ranks 75th statewide and earns 70.7% ELA and 68.3% Math despite a free/reduced lunch rate of 78.2%.
Science is the relative weak spot across the group, averaging 44.2% versus 61.5% in ELA and 53.1% in Math. Ensworth Elementary School is the clearest outlier on the lower end, ranking 565th of 709 (1 star) with 33.3% ELA, 21.1% Math, and 12.5% Science, alongside the highest poverty rate and highest per-student spending.
