Cascade School District operates 7 public schools serving 1,252 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Washington. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 elementary, 2 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,258 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Chelan County County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $20,396 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 32.8% local, 51.8% state, and 15.3% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $98,826 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 52/100, ranked #106 of 240 in Washington against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 7 schools offering Advanced Placement (1 AP courses district-wide), a 193.1:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 19.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 74.3% White, 22.1% Hispanic or Latino, 0.7% Asian across the district's schools.
Cascade High School accounts for 32.0% of all Cascade School District student enrollment
That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Cascade School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

Cascade School District school enrollment ranges from 1 students (lowest) to 403 students (highest), a spread of 402 students.

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Cascade School District chronic absenteeism rate is 19.7% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Cascade School District is typically wider than the Cascade School District-aggregate figure suggests.
