Cascade Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

Nestled in the heart of Cascade, Idaho, Cascade Junior/Senior High School is a small public school serving grades 6-12 with a student population of around 87. As part of the highly-ranked Cascade District, this school consistently outperforms state and district averages in academic performance, boasting impressive ISAT scores in both Math and English Language Arts.

Cascade Junior/Senior High School's strong academic record is further bolstered by its exceptional graduation rates, which have ranged from 53.3% to 78.3% over the past few years, surpassing the state average. Additionally, the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.1 to 9.0, suggests a more personalized learning environment for students. While the school's racial composition is predominantly White, with a small percentage of Hispanic, Native American, and students of two or more races, this diversity has remained relatively stable over the years.

However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.8% in 2020-2021 to 23.5% in 2022-2023, an area that the school may need to address. The school's spending per student, at $16,644 for the 2018-2019 school year, is higher than the state average, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. Overall, Cascade Junior/Senior High School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top high schools in Idaho, a testament to its commitment to providing an excellent education for its students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
