Summary

Cal Young Middle School is a public middle school in Eugene, Oregon, serving 502 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Eugene School District 4J, which is ranked 20 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cal Young Middle School has consistently ranked in the top half of Oregon middle schools, with its performance on state assessments generally above the state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, particularly in the 6th and 7th grades. However, the school's 8th-grade performance in these subjects, as well as in Science, lags behind the district and state averages. The school's diverse student population includes significant representation of Hispanic, Asian, and multi-racial students, and its performance varies across different subgroups, with some groups outperforming others.

Compared to nearby middle schools in the Eugene School District 4J, Cal Young's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than Kennedy Middle School, but lags behind the higher-performing Roosevelt Middle School. The school faces challenges in addressing equity and inclusion issues, as well as high rates of chronic absenteeism, which can impact student learning and academic achievement.
