Eugene School District (4J) is a public school district in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is one of two school districts that serve the city of Eugene.

One of the largest of Oregon's approximately 200 school districts, 4J serves about 16,500 students and spans 155 square miles in the southern Willamette Valley, including the city of Coburg and a small part of Linn County to the north. About 85 percent of the City of Eugene lies inside 4J's boundaries. The district that would evolve into 4J started in 1854, five years before Oregon attained statehood.

Also known as Lane County School District Number 4J,[citation needed] it is so-named because it was the fourth school district incorporated in the county. It is also a joint (J) district, because it also covers a small part of Linn County to the north. The district's name changed in 1964, when it absorbed Coburg School, whose attendance boundary goes nearly to Harrisburg.

Demographics

About 16,500 students attend school in the district's 22 elementary school programs, two K–8 programs, 10 middle school programs, and 10 high school programs. The three public charter schools located in the district serve about 530 additional students.

Approximately 25 percent of the student body and 10 percent of the teaching staff are members of racial/ethnic minority groups. [1]

About 40 percent of students in the Eugene School District qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a key measure of poverty in school districts. In the 2009 school year, the district had 743 students classified as homeless by the Department of Education, or 4.2% of students in the district.[2]
