Summary

Fairfield Elementary School is a K-5 school at 3455 Royal Ave in Eugene, Oregon, serving 381 students as part of Bethel School District 52, a district ranked in the bottom 14% of Oregon districts. In 2025-2026 the school ranked 435th of 709 Oregon elementary schools — 39th percentile, two stars — a middle-of-the-pack position that sits far above its own district's standing. Its history is a rise and a partial retreat: from the 12th-13th percentile in 2017-2019 up to the 67th percentile in 2021-2022, then back into the 38th-46th percentile band over the last three years.

Among nearby Bethel schools, Fairfield Elementary School is a top performer — essentially level with Meadow View School (41st percentile) and well ahead of Danebo Elementary School (26th), Prairie Mountain School (9th) and Malabon Elementary School (8th). It beats the Bethel district average by 8.6 points in English language arts and 10.8 points in math, and lands within about two points of the state average in both. Compared with nearby Eugene School District 4J schools such as McCornack Elementary School (42nd percentile, about 64% economically disadvantaged), Fairfield posts similar results with a student body that is 87-88% economically disadvantaged. Its low-income students rank at the 85th percentile statewide, far above the school's overall rank. Science is the clear weak spot: 19.3% proficiency, 11.3 points below the state. Fourth grade is strong (55.7% ELA, 41.0% math, both above state); fifth grade trails district and state in every subject.

Chronic absenteeism, at 31.1%, beats the state (33.5%) and has improved since 2022-2023. Fairfield spends $19,709 per student — roughly $6,000-$8,700 less than the nearby 4J schools — with a student-teacher ratio of 18.1 that has risen while scores plateaued. In short: a mid-ranked school doing well above its district, with identifiable gaps in fifth grade and science.
