Summary

Cascade Heights Public Charter School is a K–8 charter school in Milwaukie, Oregon, serving 228 students as part of North Clackamas School District 12, a district that ranks 48th of 141 in Oregon (66th percentile, 3 stars). For 2025–2026, Cascade Heights ranks 344th of 709 Oregon schools (51st percentile, 3 stars)—near the state middle and below its district's overall percentile. That is a step down from its peak: 140th of 706 (80th percentile, 4 stars) in 2021–2022, then 319th (55th percentile), 286th (59th percentile), and 344th (51st percentile) in the years since.

Academically, the profile is uneven. Math is a relative strength: 38.6% proficient in 2025–2026, above the district and state figures of 32.9%. English language arts is a clear weakness at 33.8%, versus 44.8% district and 43.8% state, and science (27.3%) is slightly below both. Grade-level results show 7th grade as a major outlier—9.1% proficient in ELA and 21.7% in math, far below district and state—while 8th grade is strong across all three subjects (ELA 50.0%, math 33.3%, science 38.1%). Third-grade math (54.2%) is very strong; 5th-grade science (17.4%) is weak. With only 228 students, single-grade results can swing sharply year to year.

Attendance is a bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 21.1% in 2024–2025, better than the district's 30.5% and the state's 33.5%, and second-best among nearby same-district schools behind only Sojourner School (12.0%)—though it rose from 11.3% the year before. Spending is exceptionally low at $10,781 per student, less than half the roughly $23,500 average of nearby same-district schools, yet the school still beats district and state averages in math and attendance, with a favorable 15.8 student-teacher ratio. Its free/reduced lunch rate jumped from 12.95% in 2022–2023 to 58.33% in 2024–2025. Among neighbors, Sojourner School posts much higher proficiency across subjects, while Duniway Elementary School (Portland School District 1J) and Riverdale Grade School (Riverdale School District 51J) rank among the top Oregon schools.
