Summary:
The city of North Bend, Oregon is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the North Bend School District 13. The district is ranked 34th out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 4-star rating, indicating overall strengths. However, the schools within the district show varying levels of performance, with Hillcrest Elementary School standing out as a top-performing school, while other schools like North Bay Elementary lag behind.
Hillcrest Elementary is ranked 88th out of 710 Oregon elementary schools and has consistently high test scores, with 57-66% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 55-67% proficient or better in Math across grades 3-5. In contrast, the district's alternative school, Evergreen Virtual Academy, has mixed performance, with strong 11th grade results but lower proficiency in earlier grades. The high school, North Bend Senior High, and middle school, North Bend Middle School, also show room for improvement, particularly in Math proficiency.
A key challenge facing the district is the high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 30.51% at North Bend Senior High to over 69% at the two elementary schools. This suggests a need to address socioeconomic factors that may be contributing to the performance gaps observed between schools. Ensuring more consistent and high-quality outcomes across all schools in the district could be a valuable area of focus for the North Bend School District 13.
