The free-lunch share is 74% below the Washington average and 77% below the national baseline. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 29.2% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Cascade School District spends $20,396 per pupil district-wide, below the Washington average of $23,175 and above the national average of $19,490.
