I volunteer at Shasta, and know a lot of the students, families, and school staff involved. Everything about Shasta blows me away! The staff at the school genuinely care for their students and want them to succeed. The administration is phenomenal. The choir and band programs and their directors are amazing. This is how a public middle school should be — the shortcomings are due to budget constraints, not due to staff at all. I am proud to be involved with Shasta, and when I have my own kids I would love to send them here. Shasta is the gold standard. (All of this not even considering how much the staff has gone out of their way to support kids and their families during the pandemic, which goes above and beyond even more than they already do)

Best middle school band program in Eugene! Best principal in Eugene! Great Schools needs to check its sources ... ask around - Shasta jazz band is number one in Eugene and one of the top in state. My son is safe and loved at Shasta. Principal knows every student by name! What better learning environment than one where the teachers and administrators are cognizant of your child's needs - that happens here. Choosing Shasta was great for our son.

My son attends Shasta and we have been very happy with the quality of teachers and their commitment to student success. The new principal is great and is very involved in getting the 5th graders at the feeder elementary schools ready to come to Shasta and working with the 9th graders preparing for High School. The music progam is amazing with multiple bands and choirs for the students to join. The 6th graders are kept separate from the 7th and 8th graders. My son's only complaint is too much homework. There is always help available and the teachers are dedicated to helping every student succeed. The budget cuts across the state have reduced the number of school days which puts pressure on everyone. The Bethel Bond measure will be providing much needed new computers, books and building improvements.
