Summary

Cascade Heights Public Charter School is an elementary school serving grades K-8 in Clackamas, Oregon, with 226 students. The school has consistently received 3-4 star ratings from SchoolDigger, ranking between 140-319 out of over 700 elementary schools in the state.

Cascade Heights stands out for its strong performance in mathematics and science. The school consistently outperforms the North Clackamas School District and the state of Oregon in mathematics proficiency, with 50-60% of students scoring proficient compared to 27-40% for the district and state. In science, 5th and 8th grade students at Cascade Heights score 42-57% proficient, significantly higher than the 25-33% for the district and 27-30% for the state. However, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) performance is on par or slightly below the district and state averages.

Cascade Heights also stands out in serving low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking in the top 20% of Oregon elementary schools for this subgroup. However, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11-38% over the past few years, well above the state average. Additionally, while male students at Cascade Heights consistently outperform female students, the school's overall performance is in the top 50% of Oregon elementary schools for both genders. Despite these challenges, Cascade Heights' lower per-student spending and smaller class sizes compared to nearby district schools suggest a more efficient use of resources that could be a model for other schools in the area.
