Summary:
The city of Gervais, Oregon is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 alternative charter school. While the overall academic performance of the Gervais School District 1 is below state averages, a few schools stand out with impressive results.
Frontier Charter Academy, an alternative charter school, has exceptional test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, where 84.6% of 8th graders were proficient or better in 2023-2024, far exceeding the district and state averages. The school also saw strong performance in 8th grade science. Meanwhile, Gervais High School has shown improvement in 11th grade math proficiency, with 52.4% of students proficient or better in 2022-2023, outperforming the district and state.
However, the district as a whole faces challenges, with all schools reporting high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.6% at Gervais Elementary to 75.81% at Gervais Middle School. This indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may require additional resources and support to address the unique needs of these students and improve overall academic outcomes.
