Understanding the 9/10 Rating
Eugene School District 4J has earned an overall SchoolDistrictFinder rating of 9/10, placing it in the top-tier tier. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in the U.S. Department of Education’s EDFacts collection (2021–22 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Oregon is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
Eugene School District 4J ranks among the highest-performing public school districts in Oregon on state assessments, with reading and math proficiency rates in roughly the top 10–20% statewide.
