Gervais Middle School

Summary:

Gervais Middle School is a public middle school located in Gervais, Oregon, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 186 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 Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Oregon middle schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the recent school years. The school performs relatively better among its White and Hispanic student subgroups compared to other student groups, ranking in the top half of Oregon middle schools for its White students and in the top third for its Hispanic students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in OSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) tests, is significantly below the state and district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels.

Gervais Middle School's high percentage of students (over 75%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance. The school's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby Salem-Keizer School District middle schools, such as Waldo Middle School, Claggett Creek Middle School, and Stephens Middle School. However, the school performs better than some other nearby schools, such as French Prairie Middle School and Valor Middle School, which are part of the Woodburn School District.

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.
