Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1

The Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1 in Oregon operates 35 schools, including 21 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, and 7 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 31 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Several schools stand out as top performers in the district. High Lakes Elementary School and Highland School at Kenwood Elementary School are both ranked in the top 30 elementary schools in Oregon and have 5-star ratings. Cascade Middle School is ranked 26th out of 371 middle schools in the state and also has a 5-star rating. At the high school level, Realms High School and Mountain View Senior High School are among the top-performing schools in the district, with 4-star ratings.

However, the district also faces some challenges. The 11th-grade proficiency rates in the district are below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Additionally, there is significant variation in performance and resources across individual schools. Some schools with higher rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, such as Bear Creek Elementary and LaPine Elementary, struggle academically compared to their peers. The district will need to address these disparities to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
