Summary:
The city of Cascade Locks, Oregon is home to a single elementary school, Cascade Locks School, which serves grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 88 students. The school is part of the Hood River County School District, which is ranked 63 out of 139 school districts in Oregon and has a 3-star rating.
Cascade Locks School stands out for having the lowest student-teacher ratio (11.4) among the 5 elementary schools in the Hood River County School District. The school also has a relatively diverse student population, with 60.23% white, 23.86% Hispanic, 4.55% Native American, and 10.23% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics, is generally lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (69.32%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite its low student-teacher ratio, Cascade Locks School's academic performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 216 out of 705 Oregon elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 601 out of 706 in 2022-2023, and a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the school may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its economically disadvantaged student population, and may require additional support and resources to improve student outcomes.
