My sons are new to TN and are loving their new school Cascade Elementary. They have learned to love school when they use to dislike it. With the warm welcome and guidance, they transitioned well without difficulty even though they transferred weeks after school started. Their teachers are great! They love to teach and are very effective in reaching their teaching goals without having to assign hours of homework. Their excellent teaching skills allow for children of all learning styles to succeed academically. Cascade is an excellent, well rounded, positive-character building school.

My daughter has attended Cascade Elementary since K, now in 4th grade, and has had a wonderful experience. The teachers and principal care a great deal about their students. Children here have good morals and are well behaved. My daughter is very lucky to attend Cascade.

This year, Tennessee introduced two new exams in algebra II and English III, and those results are included on the GreatSchools profile as well. The Gateway/EOC exams are standards-based tests that measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of Tennessee. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
