Gervais Elementary School

Summary:

Gervais Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Gervais, Oregon, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 374 students. The school is part of the Gervais School District 1, which is ranked 81 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gervais Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 27.5% of 3rd graders, 30.6% of 4th graders, and 38.3% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 39%, 41.9%, and 46.9%, respectively. The school's performance in Mathematics is also low, with only 27.5% of 3rd graders, 35.9% of 4th graders, and 16.7% of 5th graders proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 39.9%, 37.7%, and 31.4%. Gervais Elementary's performance on the 5th grade Science assessment is also concerning, with only 15% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 30.6%.

While Gervais Elementary School's Hispanic students and English Language Learners perform relatively better than the overall school, White students, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform significantly worse, ranking in the bottom quarter of Oregon elementary schools in these subgroups. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (74.6%) suggests a significant socioeconomic challenge facing the school and its students. However, the school's relatively stronger performance among Hispanic and English Language Learner students suggests that it may be providing effective support for these subgroups, which could be a valuable model for other schools. Nearby schools, such as Bethany Charter School and Optimum Learning Environment Charter School, generally outperform Gervais Elementary School on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
