LaPine Middle School

Summary:

LaPine Middle School is a public middle school in La Pine, Oregon, serving 311 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1, which is ranked 31 out of 140 school districts in the state.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, LaPine Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Oregon middle schools, with academic performance significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 20% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 50.9% in the district and 40.7% statewide. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as female students, white students, and students with special education needs.

With a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (64.31% receiving free or reduced-price lunch) and a relatively high per-student spending of $15,376 in 2021-2022, the persistent underperformance of LaPine Middle School suggests a need for a comprehensive approach to address equity, resource allocation, and the underlying factors contributing to the school's challenges. Addressing these issues will be crucial in providing quality education to the students of La Pine.

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.
