Pilot Butte Middle School

Pilot Butte Middle School sits in the heart of Bend, a city that's grown fast but still holds onto its outdoor-adventure, tight-knit community feel — with the Cascades practically in your backyard and a thriving local culture that draws families who want both quality schools and an active lifestyle. The school lands solidly in the upper third statewide, with math being a particular strength, making it a good fit for families who want a well-rounded middle school experience without the pressure of an ultra-competitive environment. Kids here are growing up in one of Oregon's most dynamic mid-sized cities, and that energy tends to show up in the school community too.
