Best Public Schools in Cascade, ID

Summary:

The city of Cascade, Idaho is home to two schools: Cascade Elementary School and Cascade Junior/Senior High School. While both schools serve the Cascade community, the data suggests that the junior/senior high school is a standout performer, with significantly higher academic achievement and a more favorable student-teacher ratio compared to the elementary school.

Cascade Junior/Senior High School has consistently ranked among the top 15 high schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students demonstrate strong academic performance, with 72% proficient or better in Math and 64% in English Language Arts on the ISAT exams. In contrast, Cascade Elementary School lags behind, with only 40.8% and 30.6% proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts, respectively. The junior/senior high school also benefits from a lower student-teacher ratio of 7.1, compared to 19.8 at the elementary school.

However, the data also reveals some areas of concern. Both schools have a relatively homogeneous student population, with over 90% of students identifying as White. Additionally, the junior/senior high school has a concerning four-year graduation rate of only 53.3%, which the district may want to address. The elementary school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 14.6%, compared to 23.5% at the junior/senior high school, indicating a need for improved attendance initiatives across the district.
