Summary

Gervais Middle School is a small public school serving about 198 students in grades 6–8 in Gervais, Oregon, a farming community in the Willamette Valley, and it is part of Gervais School District 1. The district overall ranks 33rd of 141 Oregon districts — 77th percentile, 4 stars — while the middle school currently ranks 183rd of 371 middle schools statewide in 2025–2026, at the 51st percentile with 3 stars.

That 51st percentile marks a striking turnaround. In 2021–2022 and 2022–2023, Gervais sat in the bottom 10–12% of Oregon middle schools, and it has now improved for three straight years, returning to its 2018–2019 level. In English language arts, 44.0% of students met state standards, right at the state average and similar to Whiteaker Middle School (43.5%), but behind Jane Goodall Environmental Middle Charter School (57.7%) and Mt Angel Middle School (64.7%). Math is below the state average at 28.4% versus 32.9%, and science is the clearest gap at 20.8% versus 30.6%.

Attendance has improved sharply: chronic absenteeism fell from 45.6% in 2022–2023 to 28.9% in 2024–2025, better than the state average and most nearby schools, though slightly above the district. The school also ranks in the 74th percentile for its results with Hispanic students and the 73rd for low-income students — measures of how well it serves those groups compared with other Oregon schools — while English language learners were at the 30th percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 70th the year before, a group to watch. Resources are comparatively strong, with $20,129 spent per student and the lowest student-teacher ratio among nearby middle schools at 15.4, yet math and science results remain below state. Small enrollment means year-to-year rankings can be volatile.
