Summary

Cascade High School is a large, comprehensive public high school serving about 1,650 students in grades 9-12 within the Everett School District in Everett, WA.

The school's standout strength is its exceptional 96.6% graduation rate, which significantly outpaces the state average. This is particularly notable because over 60% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a measure of economic need. In comparison, Mariner High School, a nearby school with a similar student population, has a graduation rate of 75.8%. However, Cascade faces a significant academic challenge in mathematics, where proficiency rates are below both district and state averages, and well behind higher-performing neighbors like Henry M. Jackson High School.

This creates a unique profile: Cascade is highly effective at supporting students to graduate but has room to grow in core academic proficiency. The school shows particular effectiveness in supporting homeless students, but struggles more with English Language Learners and students in Special Education. While the school's statewide rank has declined over the past decade as economic need has increased, its ability to maintain a high graduation rate during this shift is a key strength that sets it apart from its most direct peers.
