What Parents Should Know

At 97 students, Cascade Jr/sr High School is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.

At 8.8:1 students to teachers, Cascade Jr/sr High School sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.

Cascade Jr/sr High School sits in a rural area, which can mean longer drives for some families. Rural schools are often community anchors with smaller classes, but check transportation, after-school options, and access to specialized services before you commit.
