Summary

Cascades School is an elementary school located in Lebanon, Oregon, serving 262 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Lebanon Community School District 9, which is ranked 47 out of 140 districts in the state.

Cascades School faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 34.3% to 41.5% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the Lebanon Community School District 9 average and the state average. For example, in 2024-2025, only 46.2% of 3rd graders, 34.1% of 4th graders, and 40% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district averages of 44.5%, 38.9%, and 40.5%, respectively. Additionally, Cascades School's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female students, white students, and special education students, is generally lower than the state averages for those subgroups.

Interestingly, Cascades School's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools within the Lebanon Community School District 9, such as Lacomb School, Sand Ridge Charter School, and Riverview School, which tend to have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better overall rankings from SchoolDigger. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Cascades School, ranging from 68.9% to 70.99% over the past few years, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in the school's performance.
