High Schools in Why Not You Academy

The Why Not You Academy district contains only one high school, Cascade Public Schools, which serves students in grades 9-12. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and high spending per student, its academic performance is significantly below the state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science well below the state benchmarks.

Cascade Public Schools has a diverse student population, with a majority of African American and Hispanic students, and a very high percentage (95.21%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past two years, from 362 out of 442 high schools in 2022-2023 to 418 out of 437 high schools in 2023-2024, suggesting that there may be systemic challenges or issues within the school or district that are impacting student outcomes.

While the low student-teacher ratio and high spending per student are generally positive factors for student learning, the data suggests that these resources are not translating into improved academic performance at Cascade Public Schools. Further investigation would be needed to identify the root causes of the school's challenges and develop targeted strategies to address the equity and opportunity gaps that may be contributing to the poor student outcomes.
