Bend Senior High School

Summary:

Bend Senior High School is a public high school in Bend, Oregon, serving 1,330 students in grades 9-12. 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 well-ranked district, Bend Senior High School has struggled academically in recent years. In 2023-2024, the school ranked 184 out of 268 high schools in Oregon, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates in English Language Arts (27.7%), Mathematics (30.4%), and Science (23.8%) for 11th-grade students are significantly lower than the district and state averages. In comparison, nearby schools like Mountain View Senior High School and Realms High School have higher proficiency rates and better rankings.

The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as female students, male students, Hispanic students, and students with low socioeconomic status, who all rank in the bottom 10% of high schools in Oregon. Additionally, Bend Senior High School spends $15,880 per student, which is higher than the state average but lower than some of the nearby high-performing schools. The school's student-teacher ratio of 22.3 is also higher than the nearby high-performing schools. These factors suggest that Bend Senior High School may be facing challenges in maintaining academic excellence and supporting student achievement.

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.
