Summary

Cesar Chavez Elementary School is a public elementary school in Eugene, Oregon, serving 347 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Eugene School District 4J, which is ranked 20 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Despite the district's strong performance, Cesar Chavez Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 33.2% to 38.7%), low test scores (only 16.7% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 44.5% in the district and 40.3% statewide), and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (62.91% to 76.37%).

When comparing Cesar Chavez Elementary to nearby schools in the district, such as River Road/Elementary Camino del Rio Elementary School, it consistently performs worse on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. The data suggests that Cesar Chavez Elementary could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the low academic achievement and high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly among its student subgroups.
