Cascade Middle School

Cascade Middle School serves a diverse, working-class community in the Burien-area pocket of southwest Seattle, where families tend to prioritize connection and belonging alongside academics. The school's scores reflect real challenges — this is a neighborhood where many students are navigating language barriers and economic pressures — but it's also a community that pulls together. Families drawn to Cascade are often those deeply rooted in the area who value a school that reflects the multicultural fabric of southwest King County, even as they work with staff to push for stronger academic outcomes.
