Gervais High School

Summary:

Gervais High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Gervais, Oregon, with a total enrollment of 317 students. The school is part of the Gervais School District 1, which is ranked 81 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Gervais High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in standardized test scores for 11th-grade students. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 34.5% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, 12.3% in Mathematics, and 16.2% in Science, compared to the state averages of 45.2%, 20%, and 32%, respectively. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students performing relatively well, ranking 35th out of 237 Oregon high schools in 2022-2023, while Hispanic students and students with special needs have struggled, ranking 79th and 84th out of 98 Oregon high schools, respectively, in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, such as St. Paul High School and Silverton High School, Gervais High School's performance is generally lower. However, one nearby school, Early College High School, stands out with exceptional academic performance, ranking among the top 5 high schools in Oregon. This suggests that with the right strategies and support, Gervais High School could potentially improve its outcomes. Additionally, the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (74.76% receive free or reduced-price lunch) and the funding disparities between districts may be contributing factors to its challenges.

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.
