Summary

Adams Elementary School is a K–5 neighborhood school at 950 W 22nd Ave in Eugene, Oregon, serving 365 students within Eugene School District 4J, a comparatively strong local system that ranks 23rd of 141 Oregon districts. Adams has earned 4 stars for ten straight years, landing between the 71st and 84th percentile of Oregon elementary schools every year since 2014–15.

In 2025–26, 56.3% of Adams students met standards in English language arts, 46.3% in math and 40.7% in science — about 8–9 points above the district in ELA and math, and 10–13 points above the state in all three subjects. Locally, however, those figures sit slightly below the neighborhood median in ELA and math and clearly below in science, where Adams ranks 8th of 11 nearby schools. Attendance is the school's standout strength: roughly 20% of students are chronically absent, versus about 33% districtwide and statewide, a gap that has held for five years. Only Charlemagne French Immersion Elementary School (17.4%) and H L n Chinese Immersion Elementary School (18.3%) do better nearby, while Village School (41.1%) and Camas Ridge Community Elementary (26.7%) fare worse.

The biggest vulnerability is an equity gap. Adams performs at the 75th percentile overall, but low-income students sit at the 52nd — down from the 85th three years earlier — and special education students at the 34th percentile, the school's only 2-star mark. Results also vary sharply by grade: fifth-grade ELA (69.2%) is far above district, while fourth-grade ELA (44.8%) falls below it. The trend is stable rather than climbing, and nearby Edison Elementary School (82nd percentile) and Edgewood Community Elementary School (91st) currently rank higher. Spending and class size don't explain the differences: the highest-spending neighbor, Cesar Chavez Elementary School, posts the lowest proficiency in the cluster.
