Summary

Cascade High School is a large public school serving grades 9–12 and 1,651 students in Everett, Washington, as part of the Everett School District. The school serves a comparatively high-need community, with 61.18% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Cascade ranks 162nd out of 396 Washington high schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 59th percentile. That makes it a middle-performing school statewide and represents an improvement from 204th place the previous year.

Cascade’s strongest results are its graduation and student-retention outcomes. Its four-year graduation rate was 96.6% in 2024–2025, slightly above the district and well above the 82.6% statewide rate. Its dropout rate fell to 2.0%, compared with 9.8% statewide. English Language Arts is another relative strength: 62.61% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, above the 52.81% state rate, though slightly below the district’s 65.49%. Math is the clearest concern. Only 30.67% of students were proficient, compared with 43.11% statewide and 57.23% districtwide. Science proficiency was 48.58%, close to the state average but below the district’s 62.64%. These results show a school that generally keeps students on track to graduate, but needs to improve academic mastery, especially in mathematics.

Compared with the similarly sized and similarly higher-need Everett High School, Cascade has slightly higher ELA and math proficiency, a higher graduation rate, and a lower dropout rate. It is far behind the area’s top-performing schools, however: Henry M. Jackson High School ranks in the 93rd percentile, while Kamiak High School ranks in the 90th percentile. Cascade compares favorably with Mariner High School on graduation and dropout outcomes. Recent subgroup-effectiveness results are encouraging for several student groups, though English Language Learners remain an area for attention. Overall, Cascade is a stable, improving school with strong completion outcomes and a significant math achievement gap.
