Adams Elementary School

Summary:

Adams Elementary School is a public elementary school in Eugene, Oregon, serving 401 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Eugene School District 4J, which is ranked 20 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Adams Elementary School has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Adams Elementary School consistently outperforms the Eugene School District 4J and the state of Oregon in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, 58% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 45.7% for the district and 39% for the state. The school also excels in Mathematics, with 56.9% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better, compared to 42% for the district and 39.9% for the state. Additionally, Adams Elementary School's performance in Science for 5th-grade students is noteworthy, with 29.7% proficient or better, compared to 38.6% for the district and 30.6% for the state.

While Adams Elementary School outperforms the district and state averages, there is still room for improvement, particularly in the areas of Mathematics and Science. The school's relatively high spending per student, at $19,273 for the 2021-2022 school year, suggests that the district is investing resources in the school, but it will be important to ensure that these resources are being used effectively to drive continued academic growth. Interestingly, Ridgeline Montessori, a public charter school within the same district, also performs exceptionally well, with higher test scores than Adams Elementary School in many areas. In contrast, Cesar Chavez Elementary School, located just 0.66 miles from Adams Elementary, has significantly lower test scores and a lower SchoolDigger rating, indicating a potential disparity in educational outcomes within the same district.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
