Summary

Cascade Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 382 students in the Marysville School District, a district that faces significant academic challenges across the region.

Academically, Cascade's test scores in English, Math, and Science are below the state average, but the school shows important strengths, particularly in its exceptional support for English Language Learner (ELL) students, whose performance ranks in the state's top quartile. The school serves a high-need population, with nearly two-thirds of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and it often outperforms other nearby schools with similar demographics, such as Liberty Elementary and Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary. However, performance can be inconsistent from year to year and varies widely between grade levels; for example, fourth-grade English scores are relatively strong, while fifth-grade math scores are a notable area for improvement.

When compared to neighbors, Cascade operates with relatively efficient spending, achieving comparable or better results than some schools that spend significantly more per student. The highest-performing nearby school is Pinewood Elementary, which maintains more consistent scores with a similar student population, offering a potential model for effective practices. Key takeaways for families are that Cascade has a demonstrated specialty in supporting ELL students but must work to stabilize its year-to-year results and address the sharp performance differences between grades.
