Both my daughters attend this school. It is without question the best school in the district and is consistently ranked #1 in the state. The teachers and staff are phenomenal. The community is welcoming and most families volunteer in some capacity. The students are excited to learn, collaborate, and get creative. The school climate is supportive, welcoming, and inclusive. Cascadia currently houses the district's "Highly Capable" program for grades 2-5. It also houses a preschool program. (The school district has said it will eventually move some general education students into the school, but has not announced when that will happen.) The school has a much more diverse student population than most other North Seattle public schools and the school's Culture Night is a highlight of the year. Cascadia parents also host science fairs, talent shows, harvest fests, game nights, family camping trips, etc. The one significant negative is that the district does not allow the school to provide many Special Education services which means many 2E (twice exceptional) kids are not able to attend.

I went to Cascadia from 1-5th grade and absolutely loved it. Great atmosphere, very supportive teachers, challenging work, not much homework, overall an amazing experience. I made a lot for friends there and over the 5 years I was there, there was not a single problem with bullying that I know of.

I went here from 1st - 5th grade and it was amazing! Beautiful old building, and the outdoor space was used effectively. Nobody was ostracized by a teacher or bullied in my time there, and everything was kept new and exciting, so it was easy to pay attention (generally).We did a lot of fun projects and I learned a ton!Class sizes were also good, never too many or not enough people.
