text: My kids went to South Eugene HS and graduated. Both now have advanced degrees. My daughter has a J.D., passed the California bar and practices law in the Bay Area. My son has a Ph.D in electrical engineering, worked for NASA, and now counsels EE's at MIT.  You can get a good education in Oregon but that requires good students. You can't blame it entirely on the schools. Plenty of good students get a good education in Oregon.
