Summary

Arts and Technology Academy at Jefferson is a public middle school located in Eugene, Oregon, serving 390 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Eugene School District 4J, which is ranked 20 out of 140 districts in the state.

The school's performance has been mixed, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking and rating over the years. While the school has performed well for Hispanic students, ranking 17th out of 196 Oregon middle schools in the 2024-2025 school year, it has struggled with its performance for Special Education and Gifted and Talented students. Additionally, the school has seen concerning trends in chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 34.3% to 38.7% over the past few years.

Compared to nearby schools, Arts and Technology Academy at Jefferson generally performs better than the Bethel School District schools, such as Shasta Middle School and Cascade Middle School, but lags behind the higher-performing schools within the Eugene School District 4J, such as Roosevelt Middle School. The school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 63.17% to 75.13%, may contribute to its challenges in academic performance and chronic absenteeism.

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
