Cascade High school is incredible for making long lasting friendships and working as a team. Cascade is filled with amazing learning oppritunities and brings real world experience into the classrooms. I would suggest this school to everyone I meet and not just because I am an alumi of Cascade High, but because I believe the students there are our future.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Montana used the Criterion-Referenced Test (CRT) to assess students in grades 3 though 8 and 10 in reading and math and in grades 4, 8, and 10 in science. The CRT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Montana. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
