Summary

Danebo Elementary School is a K–5 school of about 239 students in west Eugene, Oregon, serving a neighborhood where nearly nine in ten families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and it is part of Bethel School District 52.

Both the school and the district carry a 1-star rating: the district ranks 121st of 141 Oregon districts, and Danebo ranks 527th of 709 elementary schools statewide in 2025–2026. On the 2025–2026 state tests, Danebo scored 35.3% in English language arts, 23.0% in math and 23.8% in science — above the Bethel School District 52 average in all three subjects, but below the state average in all three. Within its district peer group, it is the best-resourced school, with the highest per-student spending ($21,504) and the smallest classes (14.9 students per teacher), yet its results land mid-pack among those schools. Comparisons with nearby Eugene School District 4J schools are misleading, because those schools serve far fewer low-income students and sit in a much higher-ranked district.

There is real good news. 2025–2026 is the school's best year in the reported history, a climb from the 10th percentile two years ago to the 26th, with special-education students (43rd percentile) and low-income students (39th) ranking above the school as a whole. Chronic absenteeism, after spiking to 46.3% in 2022–23, is back at the state average. Science is the relative strength; math is the weakness, and 4th-grade math in particular (15.4%, below even the district) is the sharpest anomaly. Third-grade math, by contrast, runs above the district. Parents should also know that the reported free-lunch rate jumped to 88.7% in 2024–25, a change that reflects how eligibility is counted rather than a sudden change in family income.

In years past they may have had more students per teacher, but the teachers were and are exceptional. My granddaughters and all the students were kept well focused, encouraged, Oh and the teachers never let on if they were burn out or tired. Always had a smile and an encouraging word. Close Quote
