Summary:
The Gervais School District 1 in Oregon consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative charter school. The standout school in the district appears to be Frontier Charter Academy, which has significantly higher test scores compared to the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts.
In contrast, the traditional public schools in the district - Gervais Elementary, Gervais Middle, and Gervais High - all have relatively low test scores compared to state averages. The district as a whole has very high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations.
The performance gap between Frontier Charter Academy and the traditional public schools in the district is quite stark, raising questions about the factors contributing to Frontier Charter's success. The consistently low test scores across the traditional public schools in the district, even at the high school level, are concerning and suggest systemic challenges that the district will need to address to improve student outcomes.
