Summary

Cascade School in Orem, Utah, is a large public elementary school serving pre-K through sixth grade and 882 students in the Alpine District. For 2025–2026, it ranked 209th out of 563 Utah elementary schools, placing it in the 63rd percentile and earning three stars. This is a notable improvement from the 49th percentile the previous year, although it remains below the school’s 92nd-percentile performance in 2021–2022. Locally, Cascade sits in the middle of a competitive group: it ranks ahead of Windsor School, Parkside Elementary, and Centennial Elementary, but trails higher-performing schools such as Foothill School, Edgemont School, and Orchard School.

Academically, Cascade generally performs above Utah averages. In 2025–2026, its strongest results were in third- and fourth-grade mathematics, third-grade English language arts, and fourth-grade science. Overall subject averages were approximately 53.6% in English language arts, 50.5% in mathematics, and 57.4% in science. Sixth grade is the clearest concern: 40.2% of students were proficient in English language arts, 31.2% in math, and 53.6% in science. Sixth-grade math was substantially below the district’s 47.7%, while sixth-grade science was below both the district and state. The continuing upper-grade weakness suggests that the transition into sixth grade, course sequencing, attendance, or instructional consistency deserves particular attention. In comparison, sixth-grade math proficiency was 68.8% at Foothill School and 68.3% at Edgemont School.

Cascade serves a more economically diverse student population than several nearby high-performing schools, with 40.25% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Even so, its low socioeconomic status subgroup ranked in the 73rd percentile statewide, a relative strength. Chronic absenteeism improved from 32.5% to 25.9%, but remained above the district’s 20.8% and Utah’s 23.8%. Cascade is also much larger than nearby schools, while its 23.0-to-1 student-teacher ratio is typical for the area. Overall, the school shows meaningful recovery and solid performance in many grades, with the greatest opportunity being sustained improvement in sixth-grade academics and attendance.
