Summary

Cascade Parent Partnership Program is a K-12 alternative school serving 375 students within the highly-rated Seattle School District No. 1, featuring a unique parent partnership model and a student body with growing economic diversity.

This school presents a mixed academic profile, with a standout strength in Science where 75% of students are proficient, significantly outperforming both district and state averages. English Language Arts performance is also solid at 65% proficiency, though math scores at 42% match the state average but reveal concerning weaknesses, especially in 10th grade. The school's most significant challenge is its extreme volatility in graduation and dropout rates; the 2024-2025 graduation rate of 56.6% and a 31.6% dropout rate are dramatically worse than district and state averages, though the previous year showed a much stronger 90% graduation rate, indicating unusual year-to-year fluctuations not seen in similar schools.

When compared to nearby alternative programs like Edmonds Heights K-12 and Bellevue Digital Discovery, Cascade serves a more economically diverse population but shows less stability in key outcomes. Its per-student spending is moderate, but its high student-teacher ratio of 28:1 is notable compared to schools like Emerson K-12, which has a lower ratio and stronger academic results. The rapid increase in students qualifying for free/reduced lunch suggests the school's population and needs are changing, which may connect to its academic challenges in upper-grade math and graduation consistency.
