Summary:
Gervais School District 1 in Oregon has only one elementary school, Gervais Elementary School, which serves grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 374 students. Based on the available data, Gervais Elementary School does not appear to be a standout performer in the district or the state, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools over the past three years.
Academically, the school's performance on standardized tests, such as the OSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, is below the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better ranged from 27.5% in 3rd grade English Language Arts to 38.3% in 5th grade English Language Arts, and from 16.7% in 5th grade Mathematics to 35.9% in 4th grade Mathematics. The 5th grade Science proficiency rate was only 15%, significantly lower than the district and state averages.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average, its academic performance remains below par. This suggests that simply increasing resources may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. The school also serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 74.6% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. A more comprehensive approach, including targeted instructional strategies and support, may be necessary to address the challenges faced by Gervais Elementary School and improve student learning outcomes.
