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.
