Twin Oaks Elementary School

Twin Oaks Elementary sits in the quieter, tree-lined southern end of Eugene, where the pace slows down a bit from the bustle of the university area and families tend to put down real roots. Scoring solidly in both English and math — hovering around the 69th to 70th percentile statewide — it's a dependable neighborhood school that appeals to families who want strong fundamentals without the pressure-cooker feel of hyper-competitive districts. Eugene itself is a great place to raise kids if you love outdoor access, a tight-knit community vibe, and a city that genuinely invests in its schools and green spaces.
