Summary:
The city of La Pine, Oregon 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. The data reveals significant academic performance challenges across the schools, with proficiency rates well below district and state averages in core subjects. LaPine Senior High School stands out with the largest enrollment, highest spending per student, and declining statewide ranking, despite low proficiency rates. Meanwhile, Rosland Elementary has the lowest spending per student and student-teacher ratio, but also the weakest academic performance among the elementary schools.
The schools in La Pine serve a predominantly low-income student population, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 64.31% to 67.97%. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the schools. The data also suggests potential inequities in resource allocation, with the high school spending nearly three times more per student than the lowest-ranked elementary school.
Overall, the data highlights significant challenges facing the schools in La Pine, particularly in terms of academic performance, statewide rankings, and socioeconomic factors. District and school leaders may need to closely examine the root causes of these issues and develop targeted strategies to address the disparities and improve educational outcomes for all students.
