Lapine Elementary School is a higher-need, mid-sized elementary school in Lapine, Oregon, enrolling 483 students.

Class loads run heavy: 22:1 is larger than about 88% of Oregon schools and 25% above the 17.6:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.

Its free-meal eligibility rate of 65.4% lands close to the Oregon typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.

Enrollment of 483 puts it in the larger third of Oregon schools by headcount.

Its Resource Investment Index trails 96% of the 1,273 Oregon schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.

Among 296 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Oregon schools statewide, it ranks #279, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.

Its student body is predominantly White (83% of enrollment) (diversity index 31/100).

Counselor access is stretched at roughly 483 students per counselor, well above the ASCA-recommended 250:1 ceiling.

Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 48.0% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).

The surrounding Bend-Lapine Administrative Sd 1 spends $13,289 per pupil, 27% below the Oregon average, a leaner-resourced district than most.
