Summary

Cascadia High School is a small public high school in Tumwater, WA, serving about 134 students in grades 8-12 within the generally well-regarded Tumwater School District.

Academic performance at Cascadia is significantly below both district and state averages, with particularly low proficiency in mathematics (13%) and a graduation rate of 62.7%, which is much lower than the district's 90.6% average. The school serves a student population with a high level of economic need, with about 56% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This combination of factors has resulted in the school consistently ranking in the bottom tier of Washington high schools, though it has shown slight improvement in its most recent ranking.

When compared to other local schools like A G West Black Hills High School and Tumwater High School, Cascadia's academic and graduation outcomes are dramatically lower. Interestingly, Cascadia is located very close to other alternative programs, such as New Market High School, suggesting the area is a hub for specialized education. However, other similar-sized alternative schools in the region, like Avanti High School in the Olympia School District, achieve much higher graduation and proficiency rates, indicating the challenges at Cascadia may be specific to its context.
