Summary:

Zip code 98284 in Washington contains one public middle school, Cascade Middle School, which serves about 670 students in grades 7 and 8 in the Sedro Woolley area.

Cascade Middle School faces significant academic challenges, with student proficiency rates in English, math, and science consistently falling 11 to 15 percentage points below the Washington state average. The school's performance has declined in recent years, dropping to a ranking in the 30th percentile of state middle schools. Notably, its test scores exactly match the averages for the Sedro-Woolley School District, indicating these are district-wide trends rather than issues unique to this school.

Despite a per-student spending of nearly $20,000, the school has a student-teacher ratio of 20-to-1 and over half of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. An interesting pattern shows 7th graders outperforming 8th graders in core subjects, which is unusual and may point to specific challenges. For parents, this analysis suggests the educational outcomes in this area are below state standards, and the district-wide nature of the performance data means families may want to investigate how the Sedro-Woolley School District is working to improve student achievement across all its schools.
