Summary
Agnes Stewart Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6–8 in Springfield, Oregon, with 460 students. It is part of Springfield School District 19, which ranks 92 of 141 in Oregon. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 295 of 371 (20th percentile, 1 star), down from 216 of 368 (41st percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025. The student body is economically high-need by reported indicators, and per-student spending is relatively high.
Academically, ELA and math are well below district and state averages. On 2025–2026 OSAS assessments, ELA proficiency was 23.8%, 20.0 points below the state; math was 19.8%, 13.1 points below the state. Science was a relative bright spot at 27.3%, 1.5 points above the district and only 3.3 points below the state. Eighth-grade science was essentially at district and state levels. Compared with nearby schools, the school is generally near the bottom. Hamlin Middle School is lower in math, science, and overall rank (9th percentile vs. 20th), but the school is the lowest in ELA among same-district middle schools and trails Thurston Middle School and Briggs Middle School substantially. It also underperforms most schools in Eugene School District 4J and Creswell School District 40, except in science.
Chronic absenteeism is the most urgent differentiator: 41.3% in 2024–2025, higher than the district (39.8%) and state (33.5%), and higher than every nearby school listed, including Hamlin Middle School (40.2%), Thurston Middle School (32.7%), and Briggs Middle School (35.0%). This has been persistently high for years. Per-student spending was $22,303 in 2024–2025, above some nearby schools but below others, and the student-teacher ratio was moderate at 17.3. High spending has not translated into high proficiency. The school’s effectiveness for several student groups also slipped sharply in 2025–2026. Overall, the school is a mid-sized, high-need school with significant challenges in ELA, math, and attendance; science provides a relative strength to build on.
