Summary:

ZIP code 97756 covers Redmond, Oregon, where 11 schools — six elementary, two middle and three high — all belong to Redmond School District 2J, serving roughly 6,308 students. The district ranks 45th of 141 in Oregon, at the 68th percentile with 3 stars, but performance inside the ZIP varies far more than that single rating suggests. Note that Redmond Proficiency Academy is typed as a high school yet serves grades 6–12, so its all-grade scores mix middle and high school results.

Among elementary schools, Sage Elementary School is the strongest overall: 190th of 709 (73rd percentile, 4 stars), with all-grade ELA 55.5, math 43.7 and science 40.0 — above district and state — plus chronic absenteeism of 25.4%. Tom McCall Elementary School posts the best science in the ZIP (47.0) and 5th-grade ELA of 69.1. At the high school level, Ridgeview High School has the strongest ELA (54.7) and a 90.1% graduation rate, while Redmond Proficiency Academy has the highest graduation rate at 97.3%. Redmond High School has the lowest high school ELA (30.0) and math (21.6) but improved from 0 stars/7th percentile to 2 stars/35th percentile.

Science is the clearest system-wide weakness: only Tom McCall and Sage beat the state average of 30.6, while Ridgeview (16.2), Elton Gregory Middle School (16.8) and M A Lynch Elementary School (18.2) fall far below. All three high schools exceed district and state chronic absenteeism, with Ridgeview highest at 41.9%; every elementary and middle school is below it, led by Vern Patrick Elementary School at 21.8%. All schools are high-poverty (72.96%–85.04% free/reduced lunch), and spending and class size don't track achievement simply.
