Summary

Cascades School is a K–5 elementary school serving 262 students in Lebanon, Oregon, part of Lebanon Community School District 9. The school has been moving up: after sitting in the bottom third of Oregon elementary schools (percentile 31–35) from 2021–2022 through 2023–2024, it climbed to the 53rd percentile in 2024–2025 and the 54th percentile in 2025–2026, ranking 324th of 709 elementary schools statewide. Among nearby same-district schools, it currently holds the strongest rank among the traditional (non-charter) campuses.

Math is the clearest strength. All-grade math proficiency is 44.4%, well above the district's 27.9% and the state's 32.9%, and fourth-grade math reaches 65.3%. That places Cascades behind only Sand Ridge Charter School (56.3%) and ahead of Riverview School (34.2%), Pioneer School (33.1%), Lacomb School (31.7%), Hamilton Creek School (30.3%), and Green Acres School (18.4%). Reading (ELA) is 41.8%, just above the district but below the state. Results vary a lot by grade: fourth-grade ELA is 60.4%, while third- and fifth-grade ELA fall below both district and state, and fifth-grade science is 27.3%.

Chronic absenteeism is the biggest concern at 44.0% in 2024–2025 — above the district (41.1%) and state (33.5%), and higher than all nearby comparison schools, including Sand Ridge Charter School (26.9%) and Lacomb School (25.5%). The school serves some groups well: low-income students rank at the 76th percentile, boys at the 70th, and special education students at the 57th. Girls remain much lower at the 32nd percentile. Spending is $20,665 per student, and the student-teacher ratio of 15.6 is more favorable than Lacomb School (20.9) or Riverview School (20.7).
