High Schools in Cascade School District 5

The Cascade School District 5 in Oregon is home to two high schools: Cascade Senior High School and Cascade Opportunity Center. While both schools serve the same district, the data analysis reveals significant differences in their academic performance, resource allocation, and student demographics.

Cascade Senior High School stands out as the top-performing high school in the district, consistently ranking higher than Cascade Opportunity Center in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings. The school also outperforms the district and state averages in key academic metrics, such as English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates among 11th-grade students.

However, the data also highlights concerning disparities between the two schools. Cascade Senior High School receives significantly more funding, with a spending of $17,944 per student, compared to just $4,428 per student at Cascade Opportunity Center. Additionally, the student-teacher ratio at Cascade Opportunity Center is exceptionally high at 195.5 students per teacher, compared to 18.1 students per teacher at Cascade Senior High School. These disparities may contribute to the observed differences in academic performance between the two schools.
