Summary

Thurston High School is a 9–12 comprehensive high school in Springfield, Oregon, serving about 1,215 students as part of Springfield School District 19, in the Lane County area next to Eugene.

Academics are the main area to watch. On 2025–2026 state tests, 11th graders at Thurston were 22.4% proficient in English language arts, 11.4% in math, and 31.1% in science. Math is the sharpest weakness: it sits below the district (15.1%) and state (22.9%) and well below Springfield High School (21.5%), Sheldon High School (39.7%), and South Eugene High School (46.1%). ELA is also low compared with the state's 46.0%. Science is Thurston's relative bright spot, above the district and Springfield High, though still under the state average. Academy of Arts and Academics is a small arts-focused school with a different mission, so its numbers aren't a like-for-like comparison.

Thurston's clearest strength is completion: its 2024–2025 graduation rate of 90.4% (up from 80.4% in 2020–2021) beats the district's 76.9% and the state's 83.0%, and also tops Springfield High, Sheldon, and South Eugene. Chronic absenteeism, at 41.1%, is above the district and state and higher than Sheldon and Pleasant Hill High School, but lower than Springfield High's 49.7%. Per-student spending is $21,412, similar to Springfield High, and the student-teacher ratio of 20.8 has improved since 2022–2023. Statewide, the school ranks 206 of 271 (24th percentile) for 2025–2026, down from the 63rd percentile in 2022–2023, and its relative effectiveness for most student groups is below the statewide median. In short: strong graduation outcomes and solid science, set against weak ELA and math proficiency and high absenteeism.
