Summary
Family School is a very small K–5 elementary school with 112 students in Eugene School District 4J, located at 1155 Crest Dr in Eugene, Oregon, where it serves a high-poverty student body — 67.86% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024-25, and the rate was even higher in 2023-24 at 84.55%.
Academically, Family School performs above both district and state averages. In 2025-26, 52.3% of students were proficient in English language arts, 45.5% in math, and 50.0% in science — all above Eugene School District 4J and state figures, with science the clearest bright spot. Statewide, it ranked 152nd out of 709 Oregon elementary schools (79th percentile, 4 stars). Results vary by grade: 3rd-grade math is a strength at 61.1%, while 5th-grade math is the clearest weak spot at 31.3%, below the district's 41.0%. Fourth-grade ELA results were suppressed by the state, so that grade's performance is unknown rather than a weakness. Compared with nearby schools, Charlemagne French Immersion Elementary School, Yujin Gakuen Elementary School, Edgewood Community Elementary School, Edison Elementary School, and Ridgeline Montessori generally post higher ELA or math scores, while Family outperforms Camas Ridge Community Elementary, Cesar Chavez Elementary School, and McCornack Elementary School.
Chronic absenteeism is the biggest concern: 33.9% in 2024-25, above the district (33.0%) and state (33.5%) and much higher than most nearby schools, including Charlemagne (17.4%), Adams Elementary School (20.3%), and Edgewood (20.5%). Per-student spending is high at $26,867, and the school's state rank has trended upward from around the 51st–58th percentile in earlier years to 79th in 2025-26, though its small enrollment makes year-to-year swings expected.
