Eugene High has had consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 92.6% to 97.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school struggles in some areas, such as Algebra II, where only 5.2% of students were proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 57.5%. Additionally, Eugene High has experienced a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 9.2% to 13.8% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Compared to nearby high schools, such as Jefferson City High, Capital City High School, and Blair Oaks High, Eugene High generally performs worse in terms of test scores, graduation rates, and overall statewide rankings.

While Eugene High has some strengths, such as high graduation rates, it faces several challenges, including declining performance, high chronic absenteeism, and lower test scores compared to nearby schools. The school may benefit from a closer examination of its curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to address these areas of concern and improve overall student outcomes.

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.
