Caldera High School

Q: Is Caldera High School a good school?

Caldera High School ranks 174 th of 268 Oregon high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Caldera High School is a public high school located in Bend, Oregon, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 939 students. The school is part of the Bend-LaPine Administrative School District 1, which is ranked 31 out of 140 school districts in Oregon and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Caldera High School is part of a well-regarded school district, its academic performance lags behind nearby high schools. The school's 11th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (42.4%), Mathematics (14.8%), and Science (21.6%) are lower than the district and state averages, with a particularly concerning performance in Mathematics. Caldera High School's ranking of 174 out of 268 Oregon high schools and its 2-star rating from SchoolDigger are also lower than nearby high schools, such as Mountain View Senior High School (3 stars) and Realms High School (4 stars). Additionally, Caldera High School has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients at 28.86%, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

The lower spending per student ($6,535) and higher student-teacher ratio (22:1) at Caldera High School compared to nearby schools may be contributing factors to its relatively weaker academic performance. The school's underperformance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who rank in the bottom tiers of Oregon high schools. These findings suggest that Caldera High School may face unique challenges or have different student demographics that require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.

2022	669	34.9	19.1	n/a

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
