Summary

Cascade Junior High School is a grades 6–8 middle school in Turner, Oregon, just outside Salem, serving 647 students as part of Cascade School District 5. It ranks 59th of 371 Oregon middle schools in 2025–26 (84th percentile, 4 stars), and its district ranks 21st of 141.

Academically, Cascade outperforms every nearby traditional public middle school in all three tested subjects. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates are 62% in English language arts, 40% in math and 42.3% in science — above district averages and well above the state's 43.8%, 32.9% and 30.6%. For comparison, Judson Middle School posts 50.1% in ELA and 34.3% in math, while Crossler Middle School reaches 28.2% in science. Only Howard Street Charter, which serves a much lower-poverty population, beats Cascade in ELA and math; Cascade has the top science score in the local group. Results are steady across all grades, and the school's statewide rank percentile has risen from 55th in 2021–22 to 84th in 2025–26.

Attendance is another standout. Chronic absenteeism is 16.9%, well below the state's 33.5% and the district's 22.1%, and lower than every nearby traditional public school, several of which sit in the 30s and 40s. Hispanic students rank in the top 8% of schools statewide, and low-income students in the top 7%. With a 63.68% free/reduced-lunch rate and per-student spending of $16,720 — less than most Salem-Keizer School District 24J middle schools — Cascade achieves strong results efficiently. Math (40%, only slightly above the district) is the relative watch point, and special education performance, though improved to 3 stars and the 67th percentile, remains below the school's overall level.
