Gervais School District 1

Gervais School District 1 serves roughly 1,247 students across four schools spanning kindergarten through 12th grade in the Gervais area of Oregon: Gervais Elementary School (K–5, 384 students), Frontier Charter Academy (an alternative K–12 school, 341 students), Gervais High School (9–12, 324 students), and Gervais Middle School (6–8, 198 students). The district overall is rated at the 77th percentile among Oregon districts with 4 stars, and all three schools with rank histories have improved their star ratings over the past three years.

Frontier Charter Academy is the clear academic and attendance standout. Its all-grade proficiency is 67.6% in English language arts, 48.6% in math, and 62.5% in science, far above the district (44.4, 29.4, and 28.3). Its chronic absenteeism of 10.9% is the lowest in the group, well under the district's 27.0% and the state's 33.5%. Two cautions matter, though: its graduation rate is 68.2%, below the district's 81.4% and the state's 83.0%, and many of its grade-level scores were suppressed by the state, so the all-grade figures are not a complete picture.

Gervais High School has the best graduation rate at 89.2%, above district and state, but its math proficiency of 16.7% is the weakest result in the data, and its chronic absenteeism of 42.7% is the highest. Gervais Middle School shows the strongest improvement, rising from 23rd percentile and 1 star to 51st percentile and 3 stars. Gervais Elementary School is the largest school and has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 13.4, but science proficiency there is 17.2%, far below district and state. Science is a district-wide weak spot outside Frontier and Gervais High.
