This School’s Reviews

4.0 Senior

1/20/2023

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

4.0 Senior

9/24/2021

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!

3.0 Senior

11/16/2018

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.
