For how little funding Cascade gets, its doing really well. The teachers are amazing and most of them genuinely care for students beyond just school. However, Cascade does not have much discipline given out by the administrative level hence why many students continue to be disinterested in learning and thereby decreasing the overall performance of Cascade. This decline causes the school to gain very little funding almost every year and cut many of its crucial academic programs instead of expanding and adding more. Overall, the teachers try very hard to make students feel welcome and to teach students. However, the Everett Public Schools district and Cascade Administrative Team continuously makes poor decisions causing us to become a school that doesn't have a lot to offer compared to other schools in the area. Furthermore, administrators are not very strict on rules and regulations making students feel free to discriminate and even ensue violence against others. This is what lead me to not recommend Cascade as a school to attend if you are given the choice. Again, the teachers are amazing, its just the administrators and district employees that have screwed us over.

My daughter is about to graduate from Cascade and heres my assessment of the last 4yrs. Safety of the students (from my outside perspective) is very high. I base this off their response to covid, multiple potential shooter lockdowns and they were proactively alert to my shy daughter being harassed. Teaching is hit and miss. The inconsistency of the teachers made it very hard, and if my daughter fell behind, not a single resource was offered. They will blindly let your kid fall through the cracks. The ONLY way to prevent this is to be engaged and check the grades portal weekly because of you dont, your kid can fail w/o any intervention from staff. As a parent, Ive reached out to teachers for support and been met with indifference, almost annoyance that Im reaching out on behalf of my teen. Sort of like your kid can come talk to me attitude. Campus is aging but its okay. Definitely needs to be rebuilt. Overall, its ok.

The staff communicates well with the community. Many ap courses available as well as extra curriculars. Sports teams have been competitive and my son is enjoying his time at Cascade. As with most highschools, Cascade has its challenges, but for the most part handles those challenges positively and with a desire to learn and get better.

As a former student of cascade high school I have seen multiple fights go on. The staff rarely tries to intervene with the fights. Most of the teachers will give out an assignment and then sit behind their computer and go on Facebook.

I go to Cascade, a lot of the teachers are indifferent towards their students and don't care about their learning and experience. A LOT of fights which the staff and administration don't do much about, also gang activity is present, which is not what a "school of pride" should have. After 2 years of attending, I am glad to be leaving to attend a different school.

Cascade is one of the better HS in the area now. The Parent involvement is poor on a whole but there are passionate ones that make up for the others. The teachers we have had contact with are all excellent! My son is actually doing better now than in Middle School. Athletics are getting better and the Choir and Bands have always been tops in the state.
