Summary

Roosevelt Middle School is a grades 6–8 school at 500 E 24th Ave in Eugene, Oregon, serving 557 students — the largest enrollment among the seven Eugene School District 4J middle schools in this comparison. The school earned 4 stars in 2025–2026, ranking 84th of 371 Oregon middle schools (77th percentile), inside a district that ranks 23rd of 141 Oregon districts (84th percentile).

Academically, Roosevelt is the strongest math performer in its comparison set — 45.5% proficient, ahead of every nearby school — and ranks second in English language arts at 56.0%, behind only Spencer Butte Middle School. Both figures sit well above district and state averages. Science is the clear outlier at 22.5% proficient, roughly 14 points below the district, even though the same 8th graders beat district averages in ELA and math. Attendance is a real strength: chronic absenteeism of 25.6% is about 8 points below state level and better than every nearby school except Cal Young Middle School, in a district where all seven 4J middle schools beat both district and state figures.

The school's long record has been unusually strong, holding at or above the 89th percentile from 2014–15 through 2024–25 before slipping to 77th in 2025–26 — its lowest result in a decade, and a steeper drop than Kennedy Middle School or Spencer Butte. Roosevelt serves its special-education students notably well (85th percentile, above its own overall rank), but its low-income (39th percentile) and gifted (44th percentile) subgroups sit well below the school average, with the low-income figure declining three years running. It also does more with less: the highest student-teacher ratio of the 11 schools compared, second-lowest per-student spending among its 4J peers, yet still best-in-set in math.

Open Quote Roosevelt is an amazing school. My daughter was feeling very nervous for her first day, but then her house adviser and her WEB leader called. The hose program is excellent: each student has a teacher adviser that helps them, looks out for them, and if needed, talks to the students teachers and punishes them. The WEB program is also helpful- each sixth grader is assigned an eighth grader who will greet them and show them around an d play games with them on the first day. You also hear a lot about bullying in middle school: Roosevelt has created a program called STOP to help end that and there has been NO bullying reports since last June (yay!)Roosevelt also has amazing teachers and a lot of choice in classes: each student gets tow electives per trimester. If the student does not enjoy their elective, they can put themselves on a waiting list for one they would prefer more. Overall, I think Roosevelt is a five-star middle school. Close Quote
