Summary

McCornack Elementary School is a K–5 neighborhood school on Brittany Drive in south Eugene, Oregon, enrolling 299 students as part of Eugene School District 4J.

McCornack ranks in the 42nd percentile of Oregon schools (2 stars) for 2025–2026, a partial recovery from a 29th-percentile, 1-star dip in 2023–2024. Its current results sit below its own district on every core subject: 37.1% in English language arts (district 48.0, state 43.8), 32.6% in math (district 37.7, essentially level with the state's 32.9), and 31.9% in science — where it actually edges past the state's 30.6%. The encouraging story is breadth: nearly every student group held or improved, and students with disabilities now rank in the 77th percentile statewide (4 stars), up from the 33rd two years earlier. Fifth graders outperform both district and state in math, while the fourth grade trails the state by about 18 points in ELA — a gap worth asking the school about.

Comparisons here need care. The nearest school, H L n Chinese Immersion Elementary School, is 0.55 miles away and ranks 4th of 709 statewide with 82.7% proficiency in ELA and math — but it is a district-wide opt-in magnet of about 110 students, as is Yujin Gakuen Elementary School. Against more comparable neighborhood schools such as Adams Elementary School, Willagillespie Elementary School, and River Road/Elementary Camino del Rio Elementary School, McCornack still sits near the bottom. Two other things stand out: chronic absenteeism rose to 33.8%, now above both the district and state after years as a school strength, and gifted students rank only in the 23rd percentile — the school's weakest subgroup. Spending is $26,101 per student, up 30% in four years.

Open Quote Do yourself a favor and find another school... classes are so big that teachers didn't notice bullying in the classroom Close Quote

Open Quote I have one child who has left McCornack to go to middle school and one child who still attends. The school's test rankings have been in a slide since they lost their principle after the 08 school year. The staff attitude declined after he left, my childs attitude toward school changed as well as the new principle replaced teachers and brought in new priorities and curriculum. The decline in education is very noticeable as a parent. My child who still attends McCornack is getting an A equivalent in the fast math class as a 5th grader and can barely perform basic addition and multiplication. McCornack is fine as long as you plan on hiring a tutor to supplement your child's education. Given a do-over I would choose another elementary school. Close Quote
