LaPine Elementary School

LaPine Elementary sits in the small, tight-knit community of LaPine, a rural town tucked in the high desert of central Oregon about 30 miles south of Bend. Families here tend to be deeply rooted in the area, drawn to the wide-open spaces, outdoor lifestyle, and close community feel that comes with small-town living. Academically, the school faces some challenges reflected in its rankings, but for families who value a slower pace of life and a school where teachers genuinely know every kid by name, LaPine can offer something the bigger districts simply can't replicate.
