Summary

Gervais High School is a small 9–12 public school in the town of Gervais, Oregon, enrolling 324 students as part of Gervais School District 1. In the 2025–26 rankings it placed 153rd of 271 Oregon high schools (44th percentile, 2 stars), a rebound from 215th of 268 (20th percentile, 1 star) in 2023–24 and its strongest recent showing. That places it ahead of McNary High School (165/271), St Paul High School (186/271), Woodburn High School (216/271) and North Marion High School (246/271), but behind Early College High School (1/271), John F Kennedy High School (31/271) and Silverton High School (61/271). Notably, the district is rated 33rd of 141 (77th percentile, 4 stars) — stronger than the high school's own rating.

Graduation is the school's clearest strength. Gervais posted an 89.2% graduation rate in 2024–25, above the district's 81.4% and the state's 83.0%, and close to Silverton (90.1%) and John F Kennedy High School (90.0%); only Early College and St Paul High School (both 100%) did better nearby. Science is comparatively solid at 32.2%, just under the state's 33.8% but ahead of McNary, St Paul, North Marion and Woodburn. English language arts, at 43.3%, sits close to the district (45.2%) and state (46%).

Two areas stand out as challenges. Chronic absenteeism was 42.7% in 2024–25 — about 9 points above the state and nearly 16 points above the district — while 11th-grade math proficiency was 16.7%, below the district (18.1%) and state (22.9%), though similar to McNary (17.3%) and above North Marion (6.8%) and Woodburn (under 5%). The school serves a high-need population: 99.38% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–25, and per-student spending is $23,011, higher than most nearby comprehensive high schools. Among student groups, special education results improved to the 71st percentile in 2025–26, while low-income students ranked in the 18th percentile — a gap worth watching.
