Live outside of 4J? Wednesday is deadline to apply for transfer lottery
Eugene School District 4J welcomes families who live outside of the district boundary to apply to enroll in 4J schools. Interdistrict transfer applications for the 2021–22 school year are due Wednesday, March 31.
The Eugene School District has a long history of school choice. The district’s school choice policy is that any student in the district may request to attend any 4J school provided there is space available to meet their student’s educational 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.
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.
