Cascade Middle School

Cascade Middle School sits in Auburn, a city in the southern end of King County where the valley opens up between the Cascade foothills and the greater Seattle metro — a working-class, diverse community with a strong sense of place. Families here tend to be practical and community-rooted, and the school reflects that character, though academic performance currently sits below the state median, leaving room for growth. For families who value being part of a neighborhood school and don't mind rolling up their sleeves to stay involved in their child's education, Cascade can be a solid home base in an affordable corner of the region.
