The schools are ok. Unfortunately, citizens don't vote for the school levies like they should. Eugene is a very liberal/progressive town which I like. It's a clean town with good water and ok air-it's in a valley which can get kinda smoggy in the summer but nothing like LA, Seattle, etc. I think it's a great place for kids, lots to do with the U of O here. I hope you enjoy your stay.
