GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overall it was a pretty good school. It is small so teachers know you, and you are able to get questions answered quickly.

I have loved my experience at CHS. The small grade sizes make it easier to form close relationships with classmates and peers. Athletics play a huge part of school values and the cougar pride is very strong throughout the entire community!

I like the tight knit community of Cascade High School. I think it is hard to attend a small school because there are limitations to your pool of friends and everything morphs into a popularity contest. It is harder to find your place at a small school, but there truly is a place for everyone at Cascade if they are willing to look hard enough. Academically, Cascade is mediocre. As are not rarity and there are very few opportunities for gifted students to be challenged.

Very clichey and poor staff. My son learned several racist jokes here. I would not recommend this school.
