Summary:
The city of Gervais, Oregon is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including Frontier Charter Academy, Gervais Elementary School, Gervais High School, and Gervais Middle School. These schools operate under the Gervais School District 1 and serve a community with high rates of economic disadvantage.
Among the standout schools in the district, Frontier Charter Academy stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in 8th grade English Language Arts where 84.6% of students scored proficient or better, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school also had higher 4th grade proficiency rates in both ELA and Math compared to the district and state. Meanwhile, Gervais High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 81.8%, on par with Frontier Charter Academy.
However, the district as a whole faces some persistent challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 34.3% to 34.3% across all schools, and significantly lower proficiency rates in Math and Science compared to state averages. The high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.6% to 76.71%, also indicate a need for the district to allocate additional resources and support to address the needs of economically disadvantaged students.
