Summary:
ZIP code 97405 covers part of Eugene, Oregon, and contains just two high schools: Churchill High School, a large comprehensive campus serving grades 9–12 with 1,031 students, and Network Charter School, a small charter serving grades 7–12 with 119 students. Both belong to Eugene School District 4J, making this a two-school area where one campus is roughly 8.7 times larger than the other.
Outcomes differ sharply between the two. Churchill's graduation rate is 75.2% versus 53.1% at Network Charter (district 78.2%, state 83.0%), and chronic absenteeism is 42.9% at Churchill versus 71.3% at Network — both above district and state rates near 33%. In 11th grade, Churchill posts 45.2% proficiency in English language arts versus 28.6%, and 27.9% in math versus under 5%; 11th-grade science is 37.3% versus 7.1%. The schools also serve different populations and have different resources: 91.6% of Network students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch compared with 65.96% at Churchill, Network spends $14,596 per student versus $23,674, and Network's student-teacher ratio is lower, 13.3 versus 19.7.
In 2025–2026 rankings, Churchill sits at the 62nd percentile with 3 stars, while Network Charter is at the 8th percentile with 0 stars — even though their shared district ranks 23rd of 141 at the 84th percentile with 4 stars, showing district ratings can mask wide differences between schools. Some data is unknown: Network's 8th-grade scores are suppressed by the state, and "under 5%" values mean below that threshold, not exactly 5%. Because Network serves grades 7–12 and Churchill serves 9–12, 11th-grade results are the fairest high-school comparison. Overall, Churchill shows stronger academic and attendance outcomes, while Network Charter faces the most severe challenges in this comparison.
