Live outside of 4J? Apply March 1–31 for district transfer lottery
In Eugene School District 4J, we have a long history of school choice. We welcome all students and families to attend our schools. Students who live anywhere in the district may request to attend a school other than their neighborhood school, provided there is space available to meet the student’s needs. Families who live outside of the district also may request a transfer to 4J.
Lotteries are held each spring to determine the order in which requests are granted. Families who live outside of the district boundary must apply online between Monday, March 1 and Wednesday, March 31, to be included in the annual interdistrict transfer lottery.
Out-of-district families will be asked to indicate which 4J schools they prefer, among those open to requests. Transfers will be offered in an order determined by lottery, pending release from the student’s district of residence.
Many 4J schools are open to requests from out-of-district students. Other schools are not open to requests from out-of-district residents because they will not have spaces left after 4J residents are accommodated.
Students seeking a transfer to 4J may request to enroll at the following schools:
- Elementary schools: Awbrey Park, Buena Vista, Chávez, Chinese Immersion, Edgewood, Edison, Family School, McCornack, River Road/El Camino del Río Spanish Dual Immersion, Spring Creek, Yujin Gakuen Japanese Immersion
- Middle schools: Arts & Technology Academy, Kennedy, Madison, Monroe, Spencer Butte, Japanese & Spanish Immersion at Kelly*
*Language immersion only—continuing Yujin Gakuen Japanese immersion students, continuing River Road/El Camino del Río Spanish immersion students, and heritage Japanese or Spanish language speakers
- High schools (for grades 9–11 only, except returning seniors): Churchill High School, IHS at Churchill, North Eugene High School, Sheldon High School and IHS at Sheldon
Returning seniors: Currently enrolled juniors at a 4J high school who have moved out of district and want a transfer to continue in 12th grade, please contact schoolchoice@4j.lane.edu.
