Best High Schools in Zip Code 97703

ZIP code 97703 in Bend, Oregon contains exactly one public high school, Realms High School, which serves grades 9–12 to 148 students as part of Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1. Because there is only one high school in this ZIP code, there are no within-area comparisons to make; the useful benchmarks are the district and state averages, and the school's results are detailed below.

Academically, the picture is mixed. Science is the clearest strength at 38.1% proficient at both All Grades and 11th Grade, above the district (33.7% All Grades, 24.2% 11th Grade) and the state (30.6% All Grades, 33.8% 11th Grade). English Language Arts sits at 38.5% at both levels: below the district (53.0%) and state (43.8%) at All Grades, above the district's 11th-grade rate (35.3%) but below the state's (46.0%). Mathematics is the major concern at 9.1% proficient, far below the district (43.5% All Grades, 21.3% 11th Grade) and state (32.9% All Grades, 22.9% 11th Grade) — the only subject where the school trails both benchmarks at both levels. Notably, the school's All Grades and 11th Grade scores are identical in every subject, consistent with results driven by the 11th-grade cohort.

Outcomes show both promise and challenge. The 2024–2025 graduation rate of 88.2% beats the district (85.8%) and state (83.0%), while chronic absenteeism of 37.6% is above the district (34.2%) and state (33.5%). Nearly all students qualify for free/reduced lunch (98.65%), per-student spending is $25,083, and the student-teacher ratio is 12.6. Statewide rank has declined from 4 stars / 78th percentile (2023–2024) to 3 stars / 69th percentile (2024–2025) to 2 stars / 45th percentile (2025–2026), compared with a 4-star, 76th-percentile district rating. With only 148 students, year-to-year swings are possible, but math proficiency and the rank trend are the most consistent concerns.
