Summary
Churchill High School is a 9–12 comprehensive high school in Eugene, Oregon, part of Eugene School District 4J, enrolling 1,031 students. In 2025–26, it ranked 103rd of 271 Oregon high schools (62nd percentile, 3 stars), above the state median but behind district peers South Eugene High School (92nd percentile, 5 stars) and Sheldon High School (86th percentile, 4 stars), and ahead of North Eugene High School (24th percentile, 1 star). Its trajectory has been uneven: it rose from 2 stars in 2021–22 and 2022–23 to 4 stars in 2024–25, then slipped to 3 stars in 2025–26.
On 11th-grade OSAS tests, Churchill’s proficiency rates are 45.2% in ELA, 27.9% in math, and 37.3% in science. Math is above district and state averages but well below South Eugene High School (46.1%) and Sheldon High School (39.7%), making it the clearest academic gap. The 2024–25 graduation rate is 75.2%, below the district’s 78.2% and Oregon’s 83.0%, and a drop from prior years when Churchill was at or above district levels. Chronic absenteeism is 42.9%, improved from 56.8% in 2023–24 and 50.3% in 2022–23 but still about 10 percentage points above district and state rates.
Resources look relatively favorable: Churchill spends $23,674 per student, the most among the district’s comprehensive high schools, and its 19.7 student–teacher ratio is lower than South Eugene High School, North Eugene High School, and Sheldon High School. Its free/reduced-price lunch rate is 65.96%, similar to other 4J comprehensive high schools. Subgroup results vary: low-SES students dropped from 87th percentile in 2024–25 to 41st in 2025–26, gifted and talented students declined from 74th percentile in 2018–19 to 40th in 2025–26, and special education students improved from 13th percentile in 2023–24 to 76th in 2024–25. Among nearby schools, Churchill generally outperforms Network Charter School, Twin Rivers Charter School, Willamette High School, and Kalapuya High School on tests, though those schools serve different populations. Academy of Arts and Academics has higher ELA and a 100% graduation rate but math under 5%. Overall, Churchill is a mid-to-upper performer statewide with strengths in some areas and challenges in math, graduation, and absenteeism.
