Best Public Schools in Zip Code 97707

ZIP code 97707 is home to exactly one school: Three Rivers Elementary School in Sunriver, Oregon, a K–8 building with 421 students that serves as the only public school option in the area and belongs to Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1. Because this is a single-school ZIP, there are no local school-to-school comparisons to make — the meaningful benchmarks are the district and the state. Note that although it is classified as an elementary school, it spans nine grade levels, so families here have no local middle school option; students beyond grade 8 move on to other district campuses.

Academically, the school is in Oregon's top quartile: it ranks 172 of 709 schools (76th percentile, 4 stars) for 2025–2026, up from 236 of 710 two years earlier and a move from 3 stars to a sustained 4 stars. That 76th percentile matches its district's own standing, so Three Rivers looks like a solid, representative member of a strong district. It outperforms the state in all three tested subjects — English language arts (51.4% vs. 43.8%), math (39.2% vs. 32.9%), and science (34.4% vs. 30.6%) — but trails the district in ELA (by 1.6 points) and math (by 4.3 points), while edging both district and state in science. The biggest internal story is a split by grade: 4th-grade ELA at 71.4% is the highest result in the data, 27.9 points above the state, while 7th-grade ELA at 33.3% is the lowest, 12 points below the state. Upper grades are where the school's advantage over Oregon norms fades, in both ELA and math.

Two context figures stand out for families. Chronic absenteeism is 35.4%, above the district's 34.2% and the state's 33.5% — the clearest risk area in the data and a natural companion to the weaker upper-grade results. Roughly 48% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, per-student spending is $17,474, and the student-teacher ratio is 18.7:1; the dataset offers no district or state comparators for those three, so treat them as background rather than as evidence of advantage or disadvantage. With about 47 students per grade, individual grade percentages reflect roughly 40–50 tested students, so read any single grade with caution even though the overall upward trend is credible. The most actionable priorities are clear: strengthening 7th- and 8th-grade achievement and reducing absenteeism.
