Summary

Shasta Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Eugene, Oregon, serving 345 students as part of Bethel School District 52, a district ranked 121st of 141 Oregon districts (14th percentile, 1 star). Shasta itself ranks 268th of 371 Oregon middle schools in 2025–2026 — 28th percentile, 1 star. That is a step up from the last few years, but still well below the school's earlier levels: it sat at the 58th percentile with 3 stars in 2016–2017 and the 50th percentile with 3 stars in 2018–2019 before sliding into the 15th–23rd percentile range.

In 2025–2026, 36.8% of students were proficient in English language arts, above the district's 32.8% but below Oregon's 43.8%. Science was 19.7%, also above the district. Math is the clearest weakness at 18.1%, below both the district (20.2%) and the state (32.9%), and 6th-grade math is especially low at 11.5%. Compared with Cascade Middle School (0.61 mi away, same district), Shasta is higher in ELA and science and tied in math, and it outperforms Hamlin Middle School in Springfield in all three subjects. Chronic absenteeism was 33.2% in 2024–2025, down from 36.0% but above the district's 30.8% and higher than most Eugene School District 4J schools, including Roosevelt Middle School (25.6%) and Cal Young Middle School (25.4%).

Shasta serves a high-poverty population: 88.7% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, far above the nearby Eugene schools (mostly 63–67%) and similar to Cascade. Per-student spending was $18,905, lower than almost every nearby school, and the student–teacher ratio rose to 18.6. One bright spot: Shasta's Hispanic students ranked at the 70th percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026, a large jump from the two prior years, while low-income students (19th percentile) and white students (22nd percentile) lagged. For parents, the takeaway is a school showing modest recent gains in ELA and science, with math, attendance, and rising class sizes as the main challenges.

What people are saying

by a parent
Friday, February 5, 2021

The administration has no idea what they are doing. Everytime I call them about an issue they question me and act like I am in the wrong. I am the parent it should be my decision what name my student is called, what clubs he is allowed to be part of, and what conversations I believe to be appropriate for him to be apart of. The staff of this school is more worried about being p.c. then the concerns of the parents. I feel like my students self awareness of who he is is being altered by a staff that is too overly expressive about "what all he could be". I agree we should all have the right to be who we feel we are (gender, sexual preference, etc.) but middle school age is confusing enough without all the extra input from outside sources. I feel like this school will not listen to me as a parent and I am tried of hearing "I understand but we have to follow the wishes of the student". Excuse me?! When did my child become your decision? I'm done trying to talk to these people, I'm moving to put my student in 4J where education is about education. Close Quote
