Cascade Middle School

Sedro-Woolley is a small, working-class town nestled in the foothills of the North Cascades, where the pace is slower and the mountains feel close — it's the kind of place where kids grow up knowing their neighbors and teachers alike. Cascade Middle School sits in the middle of that tight-knit community, and while its academic scores fall in the lower third statewide, families here tend to value the personal connections and rural character that a smaller district can offer. It's a good fit for families who are rooted in the Skagit Valley and prioritize community over competition.
