The Redmond School District is a school district in the U.S. state of Oregon that serves a 550-square-mile (1,400 km2) area in Deschutes and Jefferson counties, including the city of Redmond and the unincorporated communities of Alfalfa, Crooked River Ranch, Eagle Crest, Terrebonne, and Tumalo. The district has an enrollment of slightly more than 7,000 students.[1]

History

In May 1966, residents in Alfalfa voted to have their school district consolidated as a way of facilitating high school education.[2] In 1966 that district, along with the Cloverdale, Terrebone, and Tumalo districts, were to merge into the Redmond elementary school district.[3]

Boundary and attendance

In Deschutes County, the district includes Redmond, Eagle Crest, Pronghorn, Terrebonne, Tumalo, and all of that county's portion of Crooked River Ranch.[4] It also includes the unincorporated area of Alfalfa.[5]

In Jefferson County, the district includes most of that county's portion of Crooked River Ranch.[6]

From 1967 to 1992, it was designated to receive high school students from the Sisters School District.[7]
