Eugene School District 4J

The Eugene School District 4J in Oregon serves a diverse population of students across 36 schools, including 22 elementary schools, 8 middle schools, and 6 high schools. The district as a whole performs above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, but there is significant variation in academic outcomes between individual schools.

Some of the standout schools in the district include Charlemagne French Immersion Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the top schools in the state, and South Eugene High School, the highest-ranked high school in the district. Other high-performing schools include Coburg Community Charter School and Yujin Gakuen Elementary School. In contrast, some schools like Cesar Chavez Elementary School and North Eugene High School struggle with lower test scores and academic performance.

The district's free/reduced lunch rates, which range from 25.5% at Charlemagne to over 90% at Network Charter School, appear to be a key factor in academic performance, with higher-poverty schools generally underperforming. However, factors like spending per student and student-teacher ratios do not seem to be the primary drivers of these differences. The district's overall 4-year graduation rate is 81.8%, matching the state average.
