Best Public Schools in Zip Code 97739

The 97739 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1. While the district is ranked 28 out of 140 in Oregon and rated 4 out of 5 stars, the schools in this area face significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates.

Two schools stand out as particularly underperforming: LaPine Senior High School and Rosland Elementary. LaPine Senior High School has a relatively low statewide ranking, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science well below the district and state averages. Rosland Elementary is also consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, with similarly low proficiency rates.

Across all 4 schools, the data reveals high chronic absenteeism rates of 34.3%, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools serve a population with high economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.12% to 65.54%. The funding disparities between the schools, with LaPine Senior High School spending $20,407 per student and Rosland Elementary spending only $7,237 per student, may also contribute to the performance gap.
