Cascade Ridge Elementary: What The Data Says

Cascade Ridge Elementary is an elementary school in Issaquah School District. The local dataset puts it at grade span K-5 with enrollment of 391. The headline academic number: 89.7% combined ELA/math meeting standard across the available three-year data, with 91.7% in the latest year.

The useful question is not just whether the scores are high. It is whether the school combines academics, access, peer depth, and day-to-day fit in a way that works for a specific child.

The Short Version

  • Local structured data: 89.7% combined ELA/math over available three-year data; 88.3% ELA and 91.2% math.
  • Access is the first filter: Attendance-area school. Home-address assignment for neighborhood schools; transfer/open-enrollment request for other placements.
  • Program status is a live issue: MERLIN highly capable classrooms are not located at Cascade Ridge, and parents must self-transport admitted students to the host sites at Apollo or Endeavour elementaries (MERLIN Parent Permission Form).
  • There is public evidence of advanced peer depth: A Cascade Ridge 3rd grader placed 2nd in the 2024 CIE-SEA Math & Science Competition (CIE-SEA Winners).
  • The surrounding block group is High for kid density, about 6.3 estimated kids per typical block.
