Summary

Gilham Elementary School is a K–5 neighborhood school at 3307 Honeywood St. in Eugene, Oregon, serving 572 students — the largest enrollment in this nearby comparison set — as part of Eugene School District 4J, a high-performing district ranked 23rd of 141 Oregon districts. In 2025–26, Gilham ranked 227th of 709 Oregon schools, landing at the 68th percentile with 3 stars.

Academically, Gilham performs above both its district and the state in all three tested subjects: ELA 49.3% (vs. 48.0% district, 43.8% state), math 44.8% (vs. 37.7% and 32.9%), and science 38.1% (vs. 36.6% and 30.6%). Math is the clearest strength — the highest among nearby traditional public elementary schools, with only Coburg Community Charter School higher, though that K–8 charter (226 students) is a very different context, with 8th grade ELA at least 95%. Fifth grade ELA (55.8%) stands out, while 3rd and 4th grade ELA fall slightly below district averages but remain above state averages. Chronic absenteeism is 25.9%, more than 7 points below both district and state.

Compared with schools serving similar free/reduced-lunch populations, Gilham looks comparatively effective: Willagillespie Elementary School has slightly higher ELA (51.5% vs. 49.3%), but Gilham is higher in math and science and has lower absenteeism. Watch points include the long-term slide from the 80th percentile in 2014–15, the weaker 3rd/4th grade ELA results, and uneven subgroup results — Hispanic students rank at the 83rd percentile (4 stars) and special education students improved to the 61st, while multiracial students sit at the 29th percentile and low-SES students fell from the 72nd percentile in 2023–24 to the 50th.

Friday, February 15, 2019

There are 29 kids in my son's first grade class with only 1 teacher. The principal is overwhelmed and scattered. I have nothing good to say at all about this school. Will be getting on lotteries for any other school but this one asap. Close Quote

The principle doesn't do her job and there is no accountability. She is the worst principle I have ever dealt with. Close Quote
