Summary

Elmira High School is a 9–12 public high school in the small community of Elmira, Oregon, just west of Eugene, serving 374 students as the main comprehensive high school in Fern Ridge School District 28J. In 2025–2026 it ranked 49th of 271 Oregon high schools (82nd percentile, 4 stars) — a strong rebound from 131st of 270 the year before, and close to its 25th-of-268 finish in 2023–2024.

Academically, Elmira's standout area is English language arts, where 67.1% of students tested proficient — the highest among nearby high schools with reported data, ahead of South Eugene High School (64.9%) and Junction City High School (63.1%), and well above the state's 43.8%. Science is also a relative strength at 48.8%. Math is the clear weak spot at 30.0%, below the state's all-grade average and trailing Crow High School (50.0%) and South Eugene (46.1%) — though at the comparable grade-11 level it sits above the state. The school's 2024–2025 graduation rate of 88.8% is well above the state's 83.0% and far above the district's 70.3%, and chronic absenteeism (33.5%) matches the state and beats most nearby schools.

Elmira stands out most for how well it serves high-need students: in 2025–2026 its low-income students ranked 2nd of 152 schools statewide, and its special education students ranked 9th of 93. It also does more with less than several larger neighbors — spending $20,131 per student with an 18.5 student-teacher ratio, below South Eugene, Churchill High School, and North Eugene High School, while posting better results in ELA, science, graduation, and attendance. Within its own district, Elmira clearly outperforms West Lane Charter School (31.9% graduation, 81.8% chronic absenteeism). Families should note the school's year-to-year rank volatility, and that math is the area most worth asking about.
