Cascade Middle School

Cascade Middle School sits in the western part of Eugene, a city known for its outdoor culture, University of Oregon energy, and tight-knit neighborhoods. The school serves a community where many families are working hard to make ends meet, and while academics present some challenges — with scores in the lower range statewide — there's a real sense of place and community connection here. Families drawn to Cascade tend to be rooted in the area and value a school that knows its kids by name, even as they may seek additional academic support outside the classroom.
