About Camas Ridge Community Elementary

Camas Ridge Community Elementary earns a composite score of 9.0 out of 10, an Exceptional rating that places it second among 50 public schools in Eugene. Statewide, it ranks 43rd out of 1,226 Oregon public schools, outperforming 97 percent of them. Academic and growth subscores of 9.2 and 9.1 signal both high attainment and consistent year-over-year gains — evidence of durable performance across the student body, not a single strong cohort driving the numbers.

The school serves 247 students in kindergarten through fifth grade. A student-teacher ratio of 15.4:1 keeps classes relatively small for a public school, giving teachers the capacity to monitor individual progress and respond to learning gaps before they compound over time. Camas Ridge operates as a standard public school — no selective admissions, no magnet designation.

That context matters when reading its rank. Reaching the top three percent of Oregon schools without a filtered enrollment pool is a meaningful signal of sustained instructional quality. For families across the Eugene area evaluating elementary school options, the data here makes a strong case.
