Summary

Arts and Technology Academy at Jefferson is a grades 6–8 middle school at 1650 W 22nd Ave in Eugene, Oregon, serving 350 students in Eugene School District 4J, a district that ranks in the top fifth of Oregon districts. Across 11 reported years the school has been consistently solid but not dramatically rising: it has landed between the 57th and 76th percentile of Oregon middle schools every year, usually at three stars. Its best year was 2024-25 (76th percentile, four stars); 2025-26 returned to the 66th percentile, squarely inside its normal range.

Science is the school's real differentiator: 42.6% of students met the state standard, about 6 points above its district and 12 above Oregon, second-best among 11 nearby middle schools behind only Kennedy Middle School. Math is the clearest weakness at 30.1%, below both its district and the state. Those averages hide a sharp split by grade — 8th graders score well above state averages in both math and science, while 7th grade math is the weakest spot in the whole profile. In other words, the strong 8th grade results currently mask a real gap in the grades below.

Jefferson stands out for how well it serves Hispanic and low-income students, ranking in the 82nd–83rd percentile for both — better than a typical Oregon school does. Special education and gifted students, by contrast, rank below typical, and both have slipped. Chronic absenteeism is 35% — much improved, but still higher than most of its district's middle schools, with only Spencer Butte Middle School higher. Spending is $23,341 per student, second-highest in the district, and the student-teacher ratio improved to 16.3. Overall, this is a well-resourced, moderately sized school that outperforms nearby-district middle schools but performs somewhat below its own district in ELA and math while exceeding it in science.

This school turns a blind eye to bullying and student behavior, it's scary to think that older kids that have no boundries are influencing younger children. The drug problem there is out of control. Close Quote
