The Bethel School District is thrilled to welcome kindergarten students for the 2022-23 school year! Here in Bethel, we pride ourselves in being able to offer small class sizes, unique K-8 learning models, a community-centered approach, and a longstanding positive relationship with the Bethel community.

In the 2021-22 school year the Bethel district reached its highest ever graduation rate, topping graduation rates of neighboring districts in Eugene 4J and Springfield. 

Our district is the perfect size – with 11 schools, Bethel is equipped to provide genuine connection between educators and students. Students who attend in Bethel will be known by name, celebrated for their unique strengths, and are supported to be academically successful throughout their K-12 career.
