Summary

Cascade High School is a public high school serving 403 students in grades 9-12 in the mountain town of Leavenworth, WA, as part of the Cascade School District.

The school has a significant strength in getting students to graduate, with a 93% graduation rate that far exceeds the state average and is on par with the district. This is a notable contrast to some nearby schools like Westside High School. Academically, the picture is mixed: students perform very well in English Language Arts, consistently beating state averages, but math proficiency is a clear challenge, lagging behind both the district and state. This gap between subjects is a key area for attention. While the school invests more per student than most neighbors, these resources haven't yet translated into consistently higher test scores compared to a school like Cashmere High School in the higher-performing Cashmere School District.

Over the last few years, the school's overall state ranking has declined from previous highs. This trend is most visible in math scores and in the performance of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, whose results have dropped more sharply. The school serves a diverse student body where about half qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, similar to Cashmere High School. The strong graduation rates amid these academic challenges suggest the school has effective systems to keep students engaged and on track to earn a diploma, which is a positive foundation to build upon as it works to strengthen core academic proficiency, particularly in mathematics.
