LaPine Elementary School

Summary:

LaPine Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1 in La Pine, Oregon. With 399 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools over the past decade, currently ranking 587 out of 710 schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

LaPine Elementary School faces significant challenges in academic performance, with students consistently underperforming compared to district and state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 31.9% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 51.2% for the district and 39% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 65.41% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school struggles to support its student subgroups, with its female, male, white, and special education students all ranking in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools.

Despite being in the same school district, LaPine Elementary is significantly underperforming compared to its neighbor, Three Rivers Elementary, which is located just 13.75 miles away and consistently ranks in the top third of Oregon elementary schools. This disparity in performance, along with the declining trend at LaPine Elementary over the past decade, raises concerns about equity and access to quality education for all students in the Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
