Summary

Cascade Elementary School is a K-5 public school serving about 509 students in the Kennewick School District, performing as a steady, mid-tier school in a district with wide performance swings.

Academically, Cascade's test scores in English and Math are slightly below the state average but competitive when compared to other local schools with similar challenges. For instance, it outperforms nearby Washington Elementary and Westgate Elementary in several subjects, despite having a lower percentage of students from low-income families than those schools. This demonstrates Cascade is doing more with less, as it operates with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than many neighbors like Edison Elementary while achieving stronger results.

The school shows remarkable consistency, with its statewide ranking holding steadier over recent years compared to volatile schools like Southgate Elementary or Hawthorne Elementary. However, a significant area for improvement is in serving Special Education students, where the school ranks very low. While not a top performer like Sage Crest Elementary, Cascade provides stable, mid-level performance and avoids the severe struggles seen at schools like Amistad Elementary.
