Summary:
Gervais School District 1 in Oregon has only one middle school, Gervais Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has consistently underperformed compared to district and state averages on standardized tests, ranking in the bottom third of Oregon middle schools for the past three years.
Gervais Middle School's academic performance is a concern, with only 18.5% to 36.9% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 11.1% to 25% proficient or better in Mathematics, all well below the district and state averages. The school's 8th grade science proficiency rate is particularly low at just 9.3%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (75.81%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income student population.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.6, and per-student spending of $18,134, Gervais Middle School has struggled to improve academic outcomes for its students. This suggests that the school may face significant challenges that require a comprehensive review of its educational strategies, resource allocation, and targeted interventions to address the underlying factors contributing to the students' academic struggles.
