Summary:

ZIP code 97701 is home to four grade 6–8 middle schools — Sky View Middle School, Pilot Butte Middle School, Pacific Crest Middle School, and Realms Middle School — all part of Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1, which ranks 34 of 141 districts statewide (76th percentile, 4 stars). Together they enroll 1,928 students. Sky View (598), Pilot Butte (589), and Pacific Crest (585) are similar in size, while Realms is far smaller at 156 students, roughly 8% of the group. Realms' free/reduced-lunch figure is not reported in this data and should not be read as zero.

Pacific Crest Middle School is the clear standout: ranked 22 of 371 schools statewide (94th percentile, 5 stars), it leads every subject — ELA 73.3%, math 62.6%, and science 42.5% — and has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 28.1%, below both the district (34.2%) and state (33.5%). It does this while reporting the highest free/reduced-lunch rate among reporting schools (50.6%), the highest student-teacher ratio (24.6), and the lowest per-student spending ($15,291), so resource levels alone do not explain outcomes here. It is also the only school in the group whose rank is improving: 56 → 31 → 22.

Sky View Middle School is strong in ELA (59.8%) and science (38.6%) but weak in math (32.0%), 11.5 points below the district. Pilot Butte Middle School is lowest overall in ELA (48.9%), math (30.2%), and science (26.3%), and its rank fell from 82 to 144 with a star drop from 4 to 3 — though its 7th-grade ELA of 62.8% is a bright spot. Realms Middle School spends the most per student ($18,024) and has the smallest classes (18.8), with solid math (46.7%), but posts the highest absenteeism (39.7%), the lowest science (22.9%), and a declining rank (49 → 75 → 92). One shared strength: every school beats district and state in 7th-grade ELA.
