Summary
Village School is a K–8 school in Eugene, Oregon, part of Eugene School District 4J, serving 225 students. The district ranks 23rd of 141 Oregon districts (84th percentile, 4 stars), while Village’s 2025–2026 statewide rank is 269th of 709 schools (62nd percentile, 3 stars)—above the state median but below its district and several nearby schools. Historically stronger (86th percentile in 2017–2018), it has settled around the 56th–62nd percentile over the last four reported years. It serves a relatively high-poverty population: 68.44% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, the highest rate among listed nearby schools. Per-student spending is $14,023, low compared with most nearby schools; the student-teacher ratio is 18:1, improved from 27.3:1 and 30.1:1.
Academically, science is Village’s clearest strength. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 56.9% in English language arts, 46.1% in math, and 63.3% in science—all above district and state averages. Science is especially notable, at 26.7 points above the district and 32.7 points above the state; among nearby schools, only Yujin Gakuen Elementary School (68.6%) and Charlemagne French Immersion Elementary School (66.0%) have higher all-grade science proficiency. In ELA and math, Village is more mid-pack: above some nearby schools but below Yujin Gakuen, Charlemagne, Edgewood Community Elementary School, Edison Elementary School, and Ridgeline Montessori. Grade-level results are uneven: 8th-grade ELA is 88%, 8th-grade math 73.9%, and 8th-grade science 70.8%, while 3rd-grade ELA is 30.8%, 3rd-grade math 28%, 6th-grade math 16.7%, and 6th-grade ELA 40%.
Chronic absenteeism is Village’s most obvious challenge: 41.1% in 2024–2025, compared with 33.0% in the district and 33.5% statewide, and the highest rate among nearby schools. The trend has risen steadily from 29.4% in 2021–2022. Subgroup results are uneven but include a standout: low-socioeconomic-status students ranked in the 95th percentile statewide (5 stars), a dramatic improvement, and male students reached the 84th percentile (4 stars). Female students dropped to the 43rd percentile (2 stars). Overall, Village is a small K–8 school with above-average all-grade achievement, standout science, and strong recent low-SES results, but it faces high absenteeism, uneven grade-level performance, and lower relative ELA and math outcomes than several nearby schools.
