Cascade Junior High School consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, with 6th-grade ELA proficiency at 58.5% compared to the state average of 41.7% in 2024-2025. The school's performance in Science is also strong, with 8th-grade Science proficiency at 37.4% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state average of 27.2%.
