Cascade School has consistently outperformed the state and district averages in RISE test scores across various grade levels and subjects, particularly in science and English Language Arts (ELA). For example, in 2022-2023, Cascade School's 3rd-grade math proficiency was 63.2%, compared to 54.9% for the Alpine District and 49% for the state. The school's 6th-grade science proficiency reached 76.9% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the district (64.4%) and state (55.5%) averages.

While Cascade School's performance is generally stronger than the nearby Orem School and Windsor School, it is worth noting that Foothill School, located just over a mile away, is a standout performer, consistently ranking among the top 10 elementary schools in the state and outperforming Cascade School on most academic metrics. Additionally, Cascade School has experienced fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 21.8% in 2022-2023 to 32.5% in 2023-2024, which is an area the school may need to address to further improve student learning and academic outcomes.
