Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
The elementary schools sit at the state line (41.5 vs 38.9) — the 9-point school-to-school spread is where the choice lives.
All 2 elementary schools land within 9 points — the average is a fair summary here.
The level averages 41.5/100 — 2.6 points above the state average.
Only 2 campuses at this level — one school's year moves every number in this chapter.
The middle years
One middle school: Evergreen Middle at 34/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
Students are showing up: chronic absenteeism runs 14.7% against a state average of 18.1%.
The suspension rate averages 6.2% against 3.6% statewide — worth a direct question on a visit.
What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Bend Elementary at 46/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
1 of the 3 ranked schools is a charter — enrollment paths that don't depend on your address. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, those lotteries and applications are the levers worth the paperwork.
A band is a position, not a prophecy — a school's number can move without your kid's experience moving with it. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.

Top scorers at each level — not necessarily one zoned sequence. Confirm feeder patterns and enrollment zones with the district, and visit before you decide.
What this page can't see: whether a campus feels safe and glad at 8 a.m. If a path above looks workable, the next step is a visit.
