Summary

Applegate Elementary School is a K–8 school of 225 students located at 85955 Territorial Rd on the rural outskirts of Eugene, OR, and it belongs to the small Crow-Applegate-Lorane School District 66.

Academically, Applegate currently ranks 449th of 709 Oregon elementary schools — the 37th percentile, with 2 stars. That is below the middle, and notably below its own district's 60th-percentile standing. Reading and writing is the school's relative strength: 41.3% of students met the English Language Arts standard, essentially level with the state's 43.8%. Math is the clear weak spot at 18.6%, roughly 14 points below the state's 32.9%, and science is 23.3% versus 30.6% statewide. There are bright spots: 5th grade beat the state in both ELA (60.9% vs. 47.1%) and science (34.8% vs. 30.8%) — the only grade where that happens in more than one subject. Middle-school grades are where the school struggles most, with 6th-grade math under 10% and 8th-grade science at 10.0% against a 27.7% state figure. The encouraging trend is that overall rank has improved three years running, from the 16th to the 37th percentile, though it remains below its 2017–19 peak.

Two other facts stand out. First, chronic absenteeism has fallen dramatically, from 55.5% in 2021–22 to 8.3% in 2024–25 — far below the state's 33.5% and its district's 15.2%, and the best among nearby schools, whose rates run 18.3% to 36.4%. Second, low-income students here rank in the 92nd percentile statewide with 5 stars, well above the school's overall standing. Applegate also has the lowest poverty rate (58.2% free/reduced lunch) and smallest classes (12.3 students per teacher) in the local comparison group, yet it trails Fairfield Elementary School, which serves a much higher-poverty population, in both math and science. For context, the nearest truly comparable schools are Elmira Elementary School, Veneta Elementary School, and the K–8 Meadow View School and Prairie Mountain School.
