This is a fantastic school! The person who complained about a male principal in 2011 was obviously confused! We haven't had a male principal since 2008! Our kids are getting a great education. The teachers and principal are all working hard to get the student's needs met. The teachers routinely come to evening events they are not paid to attend without complaining and are always helpful with PTA and parent programs.

The Principal, Teachers and staff are all wonderful and care deeply about the students. They consistently go above and beyond for their students. There is clearly a culture of care and excellence here and I am so thankful my daughter attends Cascades.

This school is a nightmare. I think it's hysterical that a previous review recommends how good they are with special needs. The principal called me in late April to disccus something that had happened to my son that day (he had been hit by another student) He said to me "while I was speaking to him I felt like something else might be going on here, have you considered having him evaluated for something?" Buddy he has an IEP for autism in your building and has all year. The principal didn't know -- or bother to check before suggesting I have him tested. Then he was stabbed in the back with a nail on the playground and both he and the other little girl were "talked to" and that is all. Oh yes -- did I mention he learned absolutely NOTHING all year? What about the MANY times I was in the building during the day to help out, etc. and could hear the teachers (one in particular) SCREAMING at the kids (first graders)?
