Summary:

ZIP code 97703 in Bend, Oregon is home to three elementary schools — North Star Elementary (K–5), Bend International School (K–8), and Desert Sky Montessori (K–6) — all part of the Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1, which ranks 34th of 141 Oregon districts. Together they enroll 704 students, and the data cover 2025–2026 test proficiency, 2024–2025 chronic absenteeism, free/reduced lunch, per-student spending, and student-teacher ratios.

Bend International School is the academic standout: it ranks 68th of 709 schools statewide (90th percentile) with 5 stars, and posts the highest all-grade proficiency in ELA (64.5%), math (56.5%), and science (58.5%) — above the district in every subject and above the state by more than 20 points in each. Desert Sky Montessori shows the biggest turnaround, rising from 1 star and the 26th percentile in 2023–2024 to 4 stars and the 73rd percentile in 2025–2026; its ELA (58.7%) beats district and state, while math (41.1%) trails the district slightly. North Star Elementary is the largest (319 students) and has the highest known free/reduced lunch rate (49.53%), highest per-student spending ($16,823), and lowest student-teacher ratio (17.3), but sits at the 66th percentile with 3 stars, below district in ELA and uneven by grade.

Notably, all three schools exceed the state in all-grade ELA, math, and science, and all three have chronic absenteeism below the district's 34.2% and the state's 33.5% — Bend International School is especially low at 13.1%. Spending and class size don't track simply with outcomes here: North Star Elementary spends far more per student yet trails Bend International School academically. Desert Sky Montessori's 6th grade ELA and math scores are suppressed, and its free/reduced lunch figure is unknown, so its picture is incomplete.
